摘要

This paper investigates the impact of different types of successful start-up exits on the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs). With a panel data analysis covering 45 European cities over 20 years, the study examines how acquisitions and IPOs influence subsequent individual investment activity and new venture creation. The results reveal that acquisitions significantly and positively influence investment activity and new venture creation in the following years. In contrast, IPOs show smaller and marginally significant effects. These findings provide nuanced insights into how entrepreneurial recycling occurs within EEs after exit events, contributing to our understanding of the evolutionary nature of entrepreneurial ecosystems. The study underscores the importance of exit routes and the legitimacy of ecosystem actors in fostering entrepreneurship and regional development.
