Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to develop a measure of entrepreneurial ecosystems (ee)at local level. We select and aggregate into a composite index 13 variables that represent thedifferent features of an ee. Data refers to Italian provinces (nuts-3 level) in the years 2004 and2011. The ee index shows a large variation between Italian provinces but a high persistenceover time. We analyse the consistency of the index to different weighting procedure, normalizationand aggregation methods. We also check for the sensitivity of the index in ranking theprovinces to the removal of each variable.
