In this publication, we present the findings of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), a 2019 comprehensive study of various aspects of entrepreneurial activity conducted in Belarus for the first time by the Belarusian Economic Research and Outreach Center (BEROC) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) office in Belarus.

The policy paper discusses the role and behavior of small and medium-sized enterprises in the period of crises and recessions. The main purpose is to overview and evaluate possible short- and medium-term measures to support small and medium-sized enterprises in Belarus based on international experience.

The impact of entrepreneurial activity on economic growth is not unconditional. At the same time, it is impossible to explain how technology or knowledge can determine total factor productivity without taking into account the role of entrepreneurial activity in innovation. The article examines the relationship between different types of entrepreneurial activity and economic development, as well as factors that determine the role of entrepreneurship in the economy.

This is the first of a series of works devoted to factors, barriers and the effect of information technology (hereinafter - IT) implementation by Belarusian small and medium enterprises (hereinafter - SMEs) on the basis of a survey performed among 424 entities.

This policy paper discusses the terminologies, the determinants of the entrepreneurial and innovative university (University 3.0) evolution in Belarus. Authors highlight the crucial role of institutions (formal/informal) in the configuration of this type of university in Belarus and provide recommendations on the development of a University 3.0 as a new, private institution with a high degree of autonomy.
