The present investigation analyzes the effect of robberies on entrepreneurship in Mexico, during 2005-2018, within the framework of the creation of the business. The hypothesis assumes that robberies negatively influence entrepreneurship. The robbery variable includes four modalities: robberies, business robberies, robberies with violence and robberies without violence. Given the structure of the data, a model with panel data was estimated for Mexican entities. The results show a negative relationship when business robberies and violent robberies are used.
