We use a two-stage structural model distinguishing between two sets of factors, those that have direct impact on entrepreneurial activities and those that have indirect impact. Based on an empirical analysis of 263 Chinese prefecture-level municipalities from 2008 to 2015, we find that human capital, knowledge creation, and access to finance are the main factors that drive local entrepreneurial activity. New technology-based startups are significant predictors of the regional stock of human capital and the presence of risk finance suggesting the unique role of technology-based firms in promoting sustainable growth in regional entrepreneurial ecosystems. The presence of research-intensive universities also has a strong positive impact on regional entrepreneurial ecosystems. 000047785 542__ $$fhttps://academic.oup.com/pages/using-the-content/citation 000047785 590__ $$aPublished online: 2019 000047785 650_0 $$aChina 000047785 650_0 $$aTechnology 000047785 650_0 $$aIntellectual property 000047785 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship 000047785 7001_ $$aLai, Yanzhao,$$vauthor. 000047785 7001_ $$aVonortas, Nicholas S.,$$eauthor. 000047785 7731_ $$tIndustrial and Corporate Change,$$wINCC 000047785 830_0 $$aIndustrial and Corporate Change$$vINCC 2019, 28(4), 875–897 000047785 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/icc/dtz035$$yRead the Article 000047785 904__ $$aArticle 000047785 980__ $$aINCC
