One of the reviewers of the manuscript I'm working on with my colleagues, requires from us to present Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data separate for opportunity driven entrepreneurship and necessity driven entrepreneurship, also to compare them for developed and underdeveloped countries.
From my point of understanding of reviewer's demands, I have lots of questions, but the few of them are the main.
First of all, is there in GEM the outlook of opportunity driven entrepreneurship and necessity driven entrepreneurship - the data separate for opportunity and necessity driven entrepreneurship?
If it's not a case, if there is no separate outlook of opportunity and necessity driven entrepreneurship, is it necessary for me to derivate (or integrate, or...) the information from the other data? Which the data I must use? How to do that (derivation, integration...), to perform this?
After that, is there a general outlook of (the data separate for) opportunity driven entrepreneurship and necessity driven entrepreneurship, that points to the developed and underdeveloped economies (the developed and underdeveloped countries)? Or the outlook of data which I could use to compare the developed and underdeveloped countries in this situation?
If it's not a case, is it necessary for me to find the information on opportunity driven and necessity entrepreneurship (if available?) for each country separately (let's say SEE countries vs developed countries in Europe), and then integrate (or derivate, or...) them for some further analysis? In that case, how can I perform this process?
I'm very appreciate for any help I can get. Thanks.
Dear sir,
sincerely and deeply I thank you for the comprehensive answer to my question. As I see, on the basis of so complex material you have been sent to me, reviewer's request to our research results presented in manuscript we sent, looks very naive - not to say childish. Namely, he pointed us to expand our review and to be more concreet in our presentation of the indicators I have mentioned in front, with a few sentences.

And that's it?!? (The file I added as a example.) You think, our reviewer would be satisfied with this kind of report?
Well... I (we) have also one more not negligible problem. Instead od data for Serbia (also for most of Western Balkan countries), where are we from and where we made our research, is the one black hole. Will our reviewer therefore be gracious on that occasion? What do you think? Hm?
Hm! Start by looking into data on Uganda. It might lead you to the right destination. #ForensicResearch.
Unfortunately there are not so many data of entrepreneurship on the GEM for Balkan countries, for exp. only 2007-2009 years for Siberia.
There is no relevant data for most of the Western Balkans countries, for most of the CEE countries... no data for the Russia included.
Or do the reviewers do not know how to reject somebody's text? Hm?
PS Serbia (the Western Balkans country), not Siberia (north-eastern part of the Russia) ;)
Thanks Dragan, I meant Serbia, but the Chrome corrected as "Siberia" when I misspelled "Serbia".
Recently the GEM published a report that includes the answer of your question (https://www.gemconsortium.org/about/news/62). The page has the pdf file for 2017/2018 period, and it summarizes the all data of GEM monitor. Your question is about TEA (Total early-stage entrepreneurial activity) that indicator has also motivation of entrepreneurs on the basis of opportunity and necessity. Table 5 of pages 112-113 of the rapor tells about "Ranking of Entrepreneurial Motivation for TEA by Region". Of course the table has not been consisted by developed/undeveloped countries but on the basis of region. That means you should analysis yourself using the GEM data as I did for Syria and Turkey (http://betadergi.com/jeim/yonetim/icerik/makaleler/99-published.pdf, page 40, Turkish).
