The aim of the paper is to measure and compare digital entrepreneurial ecosystems in European countries in ensuring a productive context for new venture creation. The evaluation of the ability of a territory to encourage and support entrepreneurial initiative becomes even more challenging in the digital era, where many start-ups are digital-oriented thus consequently demanding some specific requirements in the surrounding environment to develop and thrive. We apply Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) as a precise, robust, and reliable measurement approach to the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) data. The most relevant contribution of this work is the provision of probabilistic ranking that is more robust and reliable than the conventional single ranking derived from composite indices constructed with a single weight vector.

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to measure and compare digital entrepreneurial ecosystems in European countries in ensuring a productive context for new venture creation. The evaluation of the ability of a territory to encourage and support entrepreneurial initiative becomes even more challenging in the digital era, where many start-ups are digital-oriented thus consequently demanding some specific requirements in the surrounding environment to develop and thrive. We apply Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) as a precise, robust, and reliable measurement approach to the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) data. The most relevant contribution of this work is the provision of probabilistic ranking that is more robust and reliable than the conventional single ranking derived from composite indices constructed with a single weight vector.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
