Abstract

This meta-analysis examines the relationship between entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) elements and regional entrepreneurial activity (EA). An extensive literature search is performed to identify quantitative studies covering EE elements and EA at the regional level (257 studies) and to extract relevant data (2,241,813 observations). To synthesize the findings, we group the potential antecedent variables based on Stam’s (European Planning Studies, 23(9):1759-1769, 2015) EE framework. The results show large differences in the effect sizes and relevance of EE elements. Based on the empirical results, three relevant elements underlying all EEs are identified: demand, talent, and finance. Our results remain robust after using different methods for variable grouping, applying meta-analytic regression, and controlling for country, publication specifics, and grouping errors. Propositions for building an EE theory are derived, and future research opportunities are discussed, as well as policy implications.

创业生态系统要素与创业活动的元分析

本荟萃分析探讨了创业生态系统（EE）要素与地区创业活动（EA）之间的关系。我们进行了广泛的文献检索，以确定涵盖区域层面 EE 要素和 EA 的定量研究（257 项研究），并提取相关数据（2,241,813 个观测值）。为了综合研究结果，我们根据 Stam 的（《欧洲规划研究》，23(9):1759-1769, 2015 年）EE 框架对潜在的前因变量进行了分组。EE 框架进行分组。结果显示，环境教育要素的效应大小和相关性存在很大差异。根据实证结果，确定了所有 EE 的三个相关要素：需求、人才和资金。在使用不同的变量分组方法、应用元分析回归以及控制国家、出版物具体情况和分组误差之后，我们的结果仍然是稳健的。我们还提出了建立 EE 理论的建议，并讨论了未来的研究机会和政策影响。

期刊介绍： Small Business Economics: An Entrepreneurship Journal (SBEJ) publishes original, rigorous theoretical and empirical research addressing all aspects of entrepreneurship and small business economics, with a special emphasis on the economic and societal relevance of research findings for scholars, practitioners and policy makers. SBEJ covers a broad scope of topics, ranging from the core themes of the entrepreneurial process and new venture creation to other topics like self-employment, family firms, small and medium-sized enterprises, innovative start-ups, and entrepreneurial finance. SBEJ welcomes scientific studies at different levels of analysis, including individuals (e.g. entrepreneurs'' characteristics and occupational choice), firms (e.g., firms’ life courses and performance, innovation, and global issues like digitization), macro level (e.g., institutions and public policies within local, regional, national and international contexts), as well as cross-level dynamics. As a leading entrepreneurship journal, SBEJ welcomes cross-disciplinary research. Officially cited as: Small Bus Econ
