论文摘要
通过全球企业家监测仪(GEM)的国家专家调查(NES)收集的数据被广泛用于评估国家企业家生态系统的质量和影响。通过关注国家企业家精神环境指数(NECI)的衡量,我们争辩并表明,国家专家的回应的主观性质排除了有意义的越野分析和越野排名。此外,我们表明NECI的有限精度严重限制了国内趋势的纵向评估。我们提供了当前使用NECI数据和建议未来NES数据收集的建议的建议。
Data collected through the National Expert Survey (NES) of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) are widely used to assess the quality and impact of national entrepreneurial ecosystems. By focusing on the measurement of the National Entrepreneurship Context Index (NECI), we argue and show that the subjective nature of the responses of the national experts precludes meaningful cross-country analyses and cross-country rankings. Moreover, we show that the limited precision of the NECI severely constraints the longitudinal assessment of within-country trends. We provide recommendations for the current use of NECI data and suggestions for future NES data collections.
