Considering the role of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship in economic growth and development, addressing these issues can be of particular importance. Particularly, the effect of these variables on economic growth is ambiguous and the need for empirical examination of this relationship seems to be necessary. Some studies, including Schumpeter (1947) and Roemer (1986), have highlighted the prominent role of entrepreneurship and innovation in the process of economic growth. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of innovation (patent index) and entrepreneurship on the economic growth of selected countries, using GLS estimation method. For this purpose, data from 20 selected countries during the period 2001-2015 and the panel data approach have been used. The results of the model indicate that these two variables have a positive and significant effect on economic growth in the above countries ؛So that 1 percent increase in the rate of entrepreneurship and innovation (the number of patents registered) resulted in an increase of 13 and 4 percent, in the growth rate of these countries, respectively. Therefore, in the present study, creating an efficient innovation and entrepreneurship system is considered necessary to achieve appropriate economic growth.

Paying attention to economic development has always been one of the main concerns of science and politics, and in order to put economic development in a suitable path, its continuous recognition is essential. The recent findings and experiences of countries Show that creativity is the most important and basic factor for the growth and development of the economy. This study aims to scrutinize the effect of creativity index on the economic development of Iran for the 1990-2016 period by using generalized method of moments (GMM). The findings support the idea that economic growth and development is more dependent on creativity and innovation than on formal education. In other words, education can affect economic growth and development, only if it results in creativity and innovation. Also the findings clarify that high-technology exports have the most effect on economic growth and patenting inventions has a positive effect on economic growth. Thus, it is suggested that by providing a creative ecosystem and supporting the rights of patenting, we will have creative and innovative system in the society so that through diversified economy which relies on knowledge, higher human resources, and modern technology will promote sustainable growth and development.
