Entrepreneurial ecosystems in cities: establishing the framework conditions

Audretsch, D. B. and Belitski, M. (2017) Entrepreneurial ecosystems in cities: establishing the framework conditions. Journal of Technology Transfer, 42 (5). pp. 1030-1051. ISSN 1573-7047 doi: 10.1007/s10961-016-9473-8

Abstract/Summary

This study focuses on regional entrepreneurial ecosystems and offers a complex model of start-ups, Regional Entrepreneurship and Development Index (REDI) and six domains of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (culture, formal institutions, infrastructure and amenities, IT, Melting Pot and demand). Altogether they capture the contextual features of socioeconomic, institutional and information environment in cities. To explain variations in entrepreneurship in a cross-section of 70 European cities, we utilize exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling for regional systems of entrepreneurship using individual perception surveys by Eurostat and the REDI. This study supports policymakers and scholars in development of new policies conducive to regional systems of innovation and entrepreneurship and serves as a basis for future research on urban entrepreneurial ecosystems.
