Abstract
La literatura económica, que ha dedicado poca atención a las cooperativas,
se ha centrado fundamentalmente en explicar su comportamiento microeconómico
diferencial. Desde la óptica macroeconómica, la economía institucional
abre un marco muy interesante de estudio puesto que la dimensión
institucional puede facilitar o dificultar la actividad emprendedora. Es por ello
que este trabajo aborda el impacto de algunos determinantes del entorno
institucional en el sector cooperativo europeo utilizando una metodología de
ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados muestran la importancia de los factores
institucionales formales en el tamaño del sector.
The economic literature has given little attention to cooperatives. The research on them has focused on differential microeconomic behavior being macroeconomic viewpoint less frequent. Since this macroeconomic perspective, the Institutional Economics gives an interesting framework for studying cooperatives, because literature has demonstrated that the institutional dimension can improve or difficult entrepreneurship. Therefore this paper addresses the impact of some determinants of the institutional environment in the European cooperative sector using a structural equation methodology. The results reveal the importance that informal factors have a greater impact on the cooperative size.
