How can I find data on entrepreneurial activity in different countries?

Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM): GEM is a consortium of academic institutions responsible for collecting data and producing reports.  Their site provides reports and data on a wide range of topics related to entrepreneurship collected for dozens of countries. Navigate directly to the Data section to run custom reports for variables across countries over time.
