In this paper, we study how individuals become entrepreneurs at different ages, according to the degree of development of the country of residence. We make use of the GEM 2014 Adult Population Survey data, against a background where social norms are controlled, to find that the relationship between entrepreneurship and age follows an inverted U-shape, according to machine learning techniques, and that younger individuals are the most willing to become entrepreneurs. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.104 2018 Economics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous) 2018 Q4 Business and International Management 2018 Q4 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Velilla, Jorge Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0553-6360 Ortega, Raquel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5545-7006 4012 650 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
