This study aims to assess the impact of perceived opportunities and entrepreneurship as a good career choice on the economic growth of European countries. A quantitative methodology was used. A data panel composed of measures of economic growth and business activity for 21 European countries from 2001 to 2019 and macroeconomic control variables was used. Multiple linear regression was estimated using the Generalised Panel Methods of Moments. High levels of perceived opportunity were found to impact economic growth positively. Entrepreneurship as a good career choice has positive impacts on economic growth. These results indicate that although entrepreneurship as a good career choice and perceived opportunity are antecedents of entrepreneurial activity, they may be considered drivers of economic growth in European countries and, as such, should be stimulated and supported. This article is original because it is a longitudinal study, and there are few studies on this topic.

Niniejsze badanie ma na celu ocenę wpływu postrzeganych możliwości i przedsiębiorczości jako dobrego wyboru kariery na wzrost gospodarczy krajów europejskich. Zastosowano metodologię ilościową. Wykorzystano panel danych złożony z miar wzrostu gospodarczego i aktywności biznesowej dla 21 krajów europejskich w latach 2001-2019 oraz makroekonomicznych zmiennych kontrolnych. Wielokrotna regresja liniowa została oszacowana przy użyciu uogólnionej panelowej metody momentów. Stwierdzono, że wysoki poziom postrzeganych możliwości pozytywnie wpływa na wzrost gospodarczy. Przedsiębiorczość jako dobry wybór kariery ma pozytywny wpływ na wzrost gospodarczy. Wyniki te wskazują, że chociaż przedsiębiorczość jako dobry wybór kariery i postrzegane możliwości są antecedentami działalności przedsiębiorczej, można je uznać za motory wzrostu gospodarczego w krajach europejskich i jako takie powinny być stymulowane i wspierane. Ten artykuł jest oryginalny, ponieważ jest to badanie podłużne i istnieje niewiele badań na ten temat.
