The causal relation between entrepreneurial ecosystem and productive entrepreneurship: a measurement framework

Melita Nicotra, Marco Romano, Manlio Del Giudice & Carmela Elita Schillaci - The paper proposes a framework for measuring and testing the causal effects of a set of entrepreneurial ecosystems factors (eco-factors) on productive entrepreneurship (eco-output). Existing research studies provide long lists of relevant eco-factors; however, the causal relations of eco-factors with productive entrepreneurship has not been sufficiently and holistically studied.
