Index of Small Business Research

If you are looking for research on the small business market, the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy puts out a yearly index of all the research it sponsors.  And it sponsors considerable research, albeit most often in the nature of demographic research or research that impacts legislative or economic policy.

Every year Advocacy’s team of economists and outside researchers make in-depth contributions to our understanding of small business through studies, academic papers, conferences, and data collection.  These contributions are brought together in Advocacy’s annual research catalog.

Advocacy’s annual research catalog is the “yellow pages” of current small business research topics. The catalog itemizes the office’s entire research output for the year — including The Small Business Economy; annual updates on finance, state-level, and demographic data; and proceedings documenting Advocacy conferences.
