摘要：Evaluation of the national entrepreneurship ecosystem is one of the most important measures that
most countries are committed to. This study evaluates the entrepreneurship ecosystem of the countries
in accordance with the Global Entrepreneurship index (GEI) and based on the metafrontier
Malmquist approach. The metafrontier Malmquist method helps to find the pattern of change for
each country, to perform analyses dynamically, to identify the effects of technical and technology
changes among the total changes (Malmquist), and to consider the region and level of the countries
in analyses (metafrontier). The data Global Entrepreneurship index for 132 countries from 2016 to
2017 are derived from the reports of the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute. Results
show that the productivity of the entrepreneurship ecosystem generally increased, but the
deeper analysis indicates that this improvement was due to the technology improvement, not the
technical efficiency improvement. Meanwhile, the North America region has had the best technical
performance in the development of entrepreneurship ecosystem, and other areas, especially Latin
America, and The Caribbean and South Asia have experienced a decline in technical efficiency. It
was also found that East Asia, and Pacific, Middle East and North Africa and North America
maintained a technology gap in the area of entrepreneurship ecosystems, and Latin America and
The Caribbean and South Asia regions had the potential to develop technological standards. By
analyzing the metafrontier, simple analysis of the entrepreneurship ecosystem performance was
replaced with the deep analysis, and a more comprehensive view was achieved in this area.
