ABSTRACT
The topic of this paper is entrepreneurial zones as a part of
entrepreneurial infrastructure in Croatia as a tool for gaining economic
development. The purpose of this paper is to analyse different
sources of investments in entrepreneurial zones in
counties/municipalities on different development levels; who
invests more: the state, the county itself, the municipality or the
private sector. The research is carried out using the development
index for municipalities and counties of the Ministry of Regional
Development and European Union Funds and investments data
of the State Audit Office. The paper is the first, not only in
Croatia, to deal with investment distribution in entrepreneurial
zones. The authors found that within groups of poorer counties,
more developed municipalities invested more in their entrepreneurial
zones, but also, they received more money from the state
and county. That is not the case within the group of most developed
counties, where there is no link between the development
index of their local government units and investments by the
county, the state and other sources. Further, municipalities in
more developed counties on average received fewer investments
from municipality and the state than they would have to get
based on their development index.
