Entrepreneurial ecosystems have become a prominent concept, yet in its current state, the concept itself represents paradox. While it draws on rich intellectual history and provides an opportunity to synthesize different strands of research, is also under-theorized mechanisms that govern ecosystem evolution are not well understood. This paper takes stock recent advancements scholarship synthesizes empirical reality causal mechanisms. We use these dynamics position broader context, within beyond domain entrepreneurship propose transdisciplinary research program for practice.

Policymakers and scholars often assume that a higher incidence of high-growth firms (HGFs) is synonymous with vibrant regional economic dynamics, HGF shares are persistent over time as entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) have slowly changing features. In this paper we test these hypotheses, which deeply rooted in the EE literature. Results do not provide strong support for hypothesis more developed regions feature shares. We find evidence consistent displaying persistency time. However, show persistence their shares, strength does increase across HGFs distribution, path-dependency main mechanism behind observed persistence. Overall, call nuanced interpretation both EEs

Is there only one type of successful entrepreneurial ecosystem? This paper applies qualitative comparative analysis to identify and analyse configurations regional ecosystems in Europe. We test two rivalling causal logics: a completeness logic stating that all ecosystem elements need be present the weakest link is most important constraint, substitutability arguing are substitutable. High entrepreneurship outputs can realised with different configurations. However, focusing on regions highest outputs, our results point at importance complete ecosystem.
