The objective of this article is to address aggregate performance indicators in National Systems of Entrepreneurship from an efficiency perspective. Our assessment is based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) applied to data from the Index of Dynamic Entrepreneurship (IDE) for a sample of 60 countries. Besides providing information on the efficiency score of each country, this approach allowed the identification of benchmarks for best practices and the construction of an efficiency ranking. Findings offer guidance for refined entrepreneurship-oriented policies that take into account characteristics of heterogeneous socioeconomic contexts. Surprisingly, top-performing countries in the IDE ranking have relatively inefficient ecosystems while countries in the lowest positions generally demonstrate higher efficiency scores. Implications of our research encompass the need for policymakers to develop more in-depth knowledge concerning their own entrepreneurial ecosystems’ attributes and productivity. Efficient systemic outcomes can be obtained through different configurations, so a hierarchical view of attributes limits the adequacy of policies for different contexts.

Post-Soviet Eurasia is one of the world's most geopolitically consequential and rapidly transforming regions. Developments across it increasingly reshape political, economic and social relations far beyond its borders. Understanding these dynamics is therefore both intellectually urgent and analytically demanding, requiring an interdisciplinary approach capable of moving beyond established categories and fragmented national perspectives.

This paper examines the nonlinear relationship between inflation and economic growth across Russian regions, contributing to the literature on the inflation-growth nexus by using subnational evidence from a large and economically heterogeneous country. Using panel data for 83 regions over the period 2015–2023, we estimate fixed-effects models with a quadratic specification of inflation. The growth-maximizing ...

Drawing on data from the 2024 RLMS-HSE, the article shows that employmentrelated risks are increasingly being shifted onto workers in Russia, while employment differentiation already affects more than 40% of employed Russians, even without taking into account deviations from standard working hours, which are typical of most representatives of the mass social strata. Employment differentiation in Russia is characterized, ...

We derive bounds on the gradient and Hessian of the log-CDF, ln F(x), of the multivariate normal distribution. These bounds scale linearly and quadratically in ‖x‖ , respectively, with constants depending only on the covariance matrix. We demonstrate the usefulness of these bounds by proving asymptotic normality of the maximum-likelihood estimator of the multivariate probit ...

The impact of state subsidies on Russia's post-Soviet dairy output remains controversial; this study provides an empirical analysis of that relationship. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 123 dairy enterprises in the Leningrad Region spanning the period from 2010 to 2023, we employ stochastic frontier analysis to assess these relationships. The results indicate that subsidies ...

The paper is the first attempt in the Russian literature to assess returns to platform employment in the Russian labor market. The theory offers no clear predictions regarding its impact on workers’ earnings: there might be both a premium and a penalty. We distinguish three groups of workers: employees; self-employed using internet-platforms; self-employed not using ...

Recent literature highlights heterogeneous spatial patterns in entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs), traditionally viewed as territorially bounded phenomena. However, growing evidence suggests that EEs possess complex spatial topologies. Existing research, primarily at the EE level, lacks insights into how individual entrepreneurs navigate these spatial structures. This study takes a microfoundational approach to examine why and to what ...

Science and Technology Parks (STPs) have become popular instruments among policymakers worldwide. Yet, empirical studies have questioned the effectiveness of STPs in generating the desired impacts on tenant companies and in regional development. Recent literature attributes these conditions to a lack of focus on the inherent heterogeneity of STPs and their respective tenants. This research ...

Entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) are regarded as ideal breeding ground for knowledge-intensive entrepreneurs (KIEs). Yet, as EEs are mostly considered isolated from each other and their connectedness is neglected, there is a lack of research on their capacity to attract KIEs rather than to locally nurturing them. Inadequate data has been a major obstacle to this ...

Entrepreneurial ecosystems, as spatially bounded resource allocation systems, are vital for the growth and scale-up of new ventures by facilitating access to financial, human, and social resources, which are considered to be essential for fostering Schumpeterian entrepreneurship. However, there is significant heterogeneity in resource endowments of high-impact ecosystems, challenging the prevailing thesis in entrepreneurial ecosystem ...

Although the concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems (EE) is inherently spatial, the actual spatiality of these productive structures has been largely assumed rather than defined based on its formative processes. The oversimplification of the spatiality of EE seems to be a function of empirical reliance on available data, a situation that has generated broadly accepted definitions ...

Pathways to sustainable development are a key to providing innovation transitions and well-being. In this context, knowledge-intensive entrepreneurs play a pivotal role in shaping the markets for new products, services and business models.
