The paper examines the channels of entrepreneurship contributing to economic growth. Based on definition of entrepreneurship as an economic activity targeting profits via introducing new products, exploring new markets and introducing new production methods, main methods for measuring entrepreneurship activity will be examined. No single method can fully appropriate as it lacks the full scope of entrepreneurship activity or includes related issues, but the level of development of it activity is linked to the quantity of newly created firms. The empirical study based on that data revealed three main channels through which entrepreneurship makes its contribution to economic growth – innovation, job creation and competitiveness. The main objective of the paper is to deliver factors which underline the link of entrepreneurship to economic growth. The first factor is a trade off between productive and transferring entrepreneurship, and the second on is a trade off between entrepreneurial and employment economic activity.
