Abstract:
Entrepreneurial activity is the original driving force of urban economic development. The measurement of its internal coordination coupling degree is helpful to judge the overall quality of the Regional Entrepreneurial ecosystem and identify its key influencing factors. In order to reduce the subjective bias in the selection of evaluation indicators, this study abstracts and selects the collaborative coupling measurement system of the Regional Entrepreneurial ecosystem composed of three levels and 17 indicators from the existing research results at home and abroad, and uses this system to complete the quantitative analysis of the panel data of 28 cities in the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in recent 10 years. The results show that the collaborative coupling measurement evolution of the Regional Entrepreneurial ecosystem presents the characteristics of heterogeneity, ladder, and coordination. The formulation of entrepreneurship incentive policy needs long-term layout and reality, and the implementation of the policy needs to follow the law and make good use of the situation.
