The evaluation model and an empirical study of the relative efficiency of national system of entrepreneurship (NSE) based on thenetwork DEA

Abstract

Abstract: On the basis of the current research results on National System of Entrepreneurship (NSE), the logical framework and the evaluation model of the NES are firstly structured with the understanding that the entrepreneurship is either a phenomenon or a process, then the NES of 43 countries are evaluated and analyzed by using the SBM-Network DEA method under variable returns-to-scale (VRS) and the data deriving from GEM-2012\\DEDI-2012/2013\\GCI-2012/2013. The empirical study shows that the Chinese NSE or its node is an input-inefficient DMU under either efficiency-driven countries or all 43 specimen countries. The input elements of NES that need to be greatly improved include “Informal Social Network”, “Business Environment”, “Market Size”, “Qualified Human Resource" and "Social Attitude towards Entrepreneurship". Consequently, in order to promote the overall efficiency of the NSE, it is extremely important to improve the “social attitude towards entrepreneurship” to enhance the formation efficiency of entrepreneurial intentions, and four elements of “informal networks”, “business environment”, “market size” and “qualified human resources” to help more and more potential entrepreneurs with entrepreneurial intentions make entrepreneurial decisions and conduct entrepreneurial activities.

Key words: National System of Entrepreneurship, Network DEA Model, efficiency evaluation, empirical study
