Entrepreneurship-enabling factors and innovation diffusion data

The dataset consists of processed data derived from publicly available global data collected through the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor's (GEM) National Expert Survey (NES), specifically the GEM 2021 NES Global Individual-Level Nations Dataset. The 2021 data captures expert perceptions of entrepreneurial environments during a historically significant period marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and its widespread economic disruptions. As a result, the data provide a valuable snapshot of how entrepreneurial ecosystems functioned under crisis conditions, including expert evaluations of factors such as resilience, adaptability, institutional support, and policy effectiveness. Examining these conditions enables researchers to better understand how entrepreneurship systems respond to external shocks and periods of uncertainty. Furthermore, the dataset serves as an important historical benchmark for assessing long-term trends and changes in entrepreneurial ecosystems, providing critical context for evaluating the evolution of entrepreneurship-related conditions over time.
