Entrepreneurship can be defined as an activity that involves discovery, evaluation and exploration of opportunities to create new goods, services, markets and processes through the efforts of individuals or organizations that did not previously exist. Entrepreneurship is one of the solutions for unemployment in times of economic crisis. This paper investigates the influence of unemployment in Brazilian entrepreneurship between 2012 and 2018. For this analysis, two State Space models were applied, one considering unemployment as an important variable in Brazilian entrepreneurship dynamics in the period, and another model without this variable. The evaluation criteria (AIC and BIC) indicate that the suggested model has better effectiveness. In this model, the series composed by the changing average of the volume of unemployed people adds information to the changing averages of self-employed people volume in the selected period.
