A Framework and Databases for Measuring
Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
We offer a framework for measurement that places
collaborative
relationships among entrepreneurs, firms, government agencies, and research
institutions at the center of the ecosystem concept. A major advantage of
our approach is that all the underlying databases are drawn from
non-confidential, publicly available sources that are transparently
disclosed and regularly updated. This greatly expands the potential
community of scholars, managers, and policymakers that may independently use
these databases to test theories, make decisions, and formulate policies
related to innovation and entrepreneurship.
