Abstract
Our research question is what policies can increase national entrepreneurship? This research aims to demonstrate the impact of language diversity and immigration on national entrepreneurship. We used the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. We conducted multiple regression analysis using a random effects model with 130 data from 26 countries over five years from 2015 to 2019. The results showed that countries that actively accept immigrants harm entrepreneurial intentions. However, when the language diversity of immigrants is high, this relationship is reversed, and it was also demonstrated that the more immigrants there are, the higher the entrepreneurial intentions of the host country's citizens become. This research not only makes a theoretical contribution to entrepreneurship research by demonstrating the mechanism by which the entrepreneurship intentions of host populations of immigrants are improved but also makes a practical contribution to entrepreneurship policy and immigration policy.
