“…Knowledge spillovers also manifested in rural entrepreneurship such as the influence of the creative class in the US on rural growth in the 1990s [81]. Even in knowledge-poor peripheral regions of China, spatial analysis evidence supports the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship and can be used to guide policy makers in less developed regions to follow national development strategies [23]. Spatial analysis enables also an identification of the ecosystem factors affecting entrepreneurship in rural areas from secondary data [82].…”

“…Understanding rural entrepreneurship in its particular context is in this light important [18] and a growing research field is exploring rural entrepreneurship in China [19,20] and elsewhere [21,22]. Understanding the spatial and temporal distribution and the determinants of rural entrepreneurship helps properly respond to and utilize the central government's policies on rural development in conjunction with local context, and is also an emerging theme in this research [23].…”

Rural entrepreneurship has been seen by the central government of China as a key means to rural vitalization. However, research focus on the long-term developmental status of rural entrepreneurship at local scale has been limited. According to industry types of differentiation, this research describes rural enterprises registered in the administrative area of Mianyang, southwest China, from 2011 to 2020. The spatial-temporal distribution rule of rural entrepreneurship is explored via a quantitative approach focused on spatial analysis and correlation analysis, as well as the application of geocoding on web data. How contexts such as the natural base, socio-economic condition, and institutional arrangements impact this distribution are empirically explored and discussed. The paper adds spatial-temporal insights into the role of the context of rural entrepreneurship. In particular, the paper highlights that rural entrepreneurship is a process potentially best explored at the regional scale and that physical condition and institutional support play central roles in rural entrepreneurship in southwest China.

“…The link between entrepreneurial ecosystems and entrepreneurial activity in general, usually proxied by start-up rates, has been examined from different angles. There is support for a general link between ecosystems and the founding of start-ups (Audretsch & Belitski, 2017;Long, Zheng & Qian, 2022;Nylund & Cohen, 2017), and that start-ups perform better and have higher survival rates, particular for first-time founders (Vedula & Kim, 2019). entrepreneurial ecosystems are also seen as a necessary condition to enable start-up creation through collaboration (Cetindamar, Lammers & Zhang, 2020;Guéneau, Chabaud & Sauvannet, 2022;Jung, Eun & Lee, 2017), even for those associated with universities (Abootorabi et al, 2021;Harrison & Leitch, 2010;Johnson, Bock & George, 2019).…”

Entrepreneurial ecosystems have developed from a powerful idea and concept into a transdisciplinary research program, increasing our understanding into entrepreneurship-led development and providing actionable knowledge for improving the conditions for entrepreneurship and development. In this paper we take stock of the progress to date and synthesize the findings of 181 empirical scientific entrepreneurial ecosystem studies with a systematic literature review. We organized the review around five key mechanisms that explain the nature and development of entrepreneurial ecosystems: (1) interdependence of its elements, (2) upward causation explaining entrepreneurial ecosystem outputs and (3) outcomes, (4) downward causation and path dependence, and (5) inter-ecosystem links. We summarize the findings and outline opportunities for research and discuss policy implications in the light of a transdisciplinary entrepreneurial ecosystem research program. This paper is of interest for scholars of all academic disciplines that provide knowledge that is relevant for the understanding of entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship-led development, but also for all stakeholders involved in the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems.

“…From the perspective of talent inflow in the western region, the inflow of migrant populations and entrepreneurs can bring higher human and intellectual capital, especially for entrepreneurs from the eastern region. Because the economy of the eastern region of China is prosperous and talents are gathered, most entrepreneurs from the eastern region of China have a higher level of education and a stronger ability to integrate and utilize resources, so they can keenly smell business opportunities and quickly seize them [14]. They can not only bring their rich work experience and good corporate culture to the western region but also utilize the rich local labor resources to promote entrepreneurial enterprises, achieve good business benefits, and pro- The western region of China is the main source of outflows of migrant workers, and the massive loss of labor resources will undoubtedly lead to slow economic development.…”

“…The main contributions of this research are as follows: First, it theoretically expands the research findings on the impact of urban public services on entrepreneurs' residence intentions, enriches the "foot voting" mechanism, and broadens the research perspective of urban economics. Unlike previous studies, this paper is not a general exploration of whether public services affect entrepreneurship [14,21], but rather a targeted focus on the residence intentions of migrant entrepreneurs. It constructs models and deduces hypotheses from multiple dimensions of urban public services, which helps to identify more accurate factors improving migrant entrepreneurs' residence intentions in the western region in the future.…”

The Impact of Urban Public Services on the Residence Intentions of Migrant Entrepreneurs in the Western Region of China

Balanced regional development affects high-quality and sustainable development. Previous studies have shown that regional talent allocation, technology business incubators, industrial ecology, cross-regional cooperation, and balanced investment in higher education have positive effects on sustained regional development. Therefore, discussing more influencing factors that promote regionally balanced development is necessary. As far as China is concerned, with the spread of the migrant population to the central and western regions, it is of certain significance to explore the factors affecting the development of the western region from the perspective of migrant entrepreneurs’ flow. Urban public services, as an important way for the government to attract talent, directly affect the residence intentions of migrant entrepreneurs in the future. This paper uses the matching data of the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey and 289 prefecture-level city data from the China City Statistical Yearbook to study the impact of urban public services in the western region on the residence intention of migrant entrepreneurs and further examines the heterogeneous impact of urban public services in the western region on the residence intention of migrant entrepreneurs. We find that urban public services in the western region significantly affect the residence intention of migrant entrepreneurs; that is, the higher the level of urban public services, the stronger the residence intention of migrant entrepreneurs. According to the heterogeneity analysis of household registration differences, generational differences, family structure differences, employment identity differences, and industry and flow range differences, this paper finds that public services have a positive impact on the residence intention of non-urban migrant entrepreneurs, the older generation of migrant entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs with small family structures, migrant entrepreneurs in low-tech industries, self-employed entrepreneurs, cross-province migration, and intra-province migrant entrepreneurs. Further analysis indicates that the level of education, culture, medical care, and transportation services in cities significantly enhances the permanent residence intentions of migrant entrepreneurs. The research conclusion not only provides reference and inspiration for China to achieve common prosperity through entrepreneurship and poverty reduction practices, but it can also, to some extent, alleviate population aggregation in large cities and promote the formation of a scientific and reasonable urbanization pattern. In addition, this paper explores the attractiveness of public services to migrant entrepreneurs in the western region of China from the perspective of entrepreneurs’ mobility and complements the relevant research on promoting regional balanced development.
