Entrepreneurship in Allentown

Research Goal
In this research project, I analyze quantitative and qualitative data to interpret the state of entrepreneurship
and its correlations (e.g. human capital, crime rates, etc.) in Allentown. The background research
- consisting of an academic paper and a policy paper - told me what data to collect, where to get it from, and how to interpret it.
Furthermore, it explained the link between entrepreneurship and city growth.
