Thus, this study explores how financial development plays a crucial role in encouraging entrepreneurship in Africa, analysing both short- and long-term impacts alongside the direction of causality within the continent. The study utilises panel data regression techniques to analyse data from 28 African countries, spanning from 2006 to 2020. The analysis reveals that financial development, alongside the growth of financial institutions and markets, consistently boosts entrepreneurship development in both time frames. Even though this is more pronounced in the long run, this suggests that the influence of financial development and its components is uniformly positive, with no significant differential impacts observed in either the short or long run. Causality results establish unidirectional causality between entrepreneurship, financial development, and its components, flowing from financial development and its components to entrepreneurship development. Given these insights, the study underscores the necessity for policymakers to focus on sustainable financial development strategies that enhance stability and inclusivity within financial markets</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="sl">Podjetništvo v Afriki se sooča s številnimi izzivi, pri čemer so finančna vprašanja pogosto obravnavana v znanstveni literaturi. Zato ta študija raziskuje, kako finančni razvoj igra ključno vlogo pri spodbujanju podjetništva v Afriki, pri čemer analizira tako kratkoročne kot dolgoročne vplive ter smer vzročnosti na celini. Raziskava uporablja regresijske tehnike panelnih podatkov za analizo podatkov iz 28 afriških držav v obdobju od leta 2006 do 2020. Analiza razkriva, da finančni razvoj, skupaj z rastjo finančnih institucij in trgov, dosledno spodbuja razvoj podjetništva v obeh časovnih okvirih. Čeprav je to bolj izrazito na dolgi rok, nakazuje, da je vpliv finančnega razvoja in njegovih komponent enakomerno pozitiven, brez pomembnih diferenciranih vplivov tako na kratki kot na dolgi rok. Rezultati vzročnosti ugotavljajo enosmerno vzročnost med podjetništvom, finančnim razvojem in njegovimi komponentami, ki poteka od finančnega razvoja in njegovih komponent k razvoju podjetništva. Glede na te ugotovitve študija poudarja potrebo, da se oblikovalci politik osredotočijo na trajnostne strategije finančnega razvoja, ki povečujejo stabilnost in vključenost na finančnih trgih</dc:description><edm:type>TEXT</edm:type><dc:type xml:lang="sl">znanstveno časopisje</dc:type><dc:type xml:lang="en">journals</dc:type><dc:type rdf:resource="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785" /></edm:ProvidedCHO><ore:Aggregation rdf:about="http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:doc-K89NMHP5"><edm:aggregatedCHO rdf:resource="URN:NBN:SI:doc-K89NMHP5" /><edm:isShownBy rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:doc-K89NMHP5/f2907cd9-f199-413a-a323-cd3ee5fe52a6/PDF" /><edm:rights rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/" /><edm:provider>Slovenian National E-content Aggregator</edm:provider><edm:intermediateProvider xml:lang="en">National and University Library of Slovenia</edm:intermediateProvider><edm:dataProvider xml:lang="sl">Univerza na Primorskem, Fakulteta za management</edm:dataProvider><edm:object rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:doc-K89NMHP5/maxi/edm" /><edm:isShownAt rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:doc-K89NMHP5" /></ore:Aggregation></rdf:RDF>
