Replication Data for: Subnational Policy Entrepreneurs in Action: A Systematic Quantitative Review

There is a prominent literature explaining how policy entrepreneurs, as active agents, promote policy changes. However, most existing studies focus on policy entrepreneurship at the national level, with limited attention paid to the vibrant dynamics of numerous local government innovations typically driven by entrepreneurial individuals. This systematic review seeks to take stock of the empirical literature on subnational policy entrepreneurship, in order to consolidate scholarly knowledge, identify generalizable patterns, and inform future research. Following a well-established review protocol, we collected 64 articles through a thorough literature search, with 126 individual entrepreneurs reported in the sample, and coded all cases based on individual-level attributes and processual characteristics. Remarkable diversity is noted in terms of 1) the policy sector; 2) forms of entrepreneurship; 3) policy change outcomes; 4) level of jurisdiction; and 5) key characteristics of the individual entrepreneurs. We find salient patterns in the entrepreneurial motivations and strategies used.现有大量重要文献阐释了作为能动行动者的政策企业家（policy entrepreneur）如何推动政策变革。然而，既有研究大多聚焦于国家层面的政策创业活动，对通常由企业家型个体驱动的大量地方政府创新的活跃动态关注不足。本系统性综述旨在梳理次国家级政策创业相关的实证文献，以整合学术研究成果、提炼可推广的模式，并为未来研究提供参考。本研究遵循成熟的综述规范，通过全面的文献检索共收集到64篇相关文献，样本中共涉及126位个体政策企业家，并基于个体层面属性与过程性特征对所有案例进行了编码分析。研究发现，在1）政策领域、2）创业形式、3）政策变革结果、4）管辖层级、5）个体政策企业家核心特征这五个维度均存在显著差异；同时，本研究也揭示了政策企业家在创业动机与策略选择上的突出共性模式。
