In developing countries, there has been an increase in businesses that do not have a specific location and persist in informality.

    <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Purpose</jats:title> <jats:p>The entrepreneurial ecosystem approach tries to understand the mechanisms underlying new business creation and helps develop tools, governmental policies and support systems that enhance the outcomes of entrepreneurship activities. To ensure a better understanding of those mechanisms, this study aims to contrast regional policies in emerging economies that are designed to foster local new business creation and development.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Design/methodology/approach</jats:title> <jats:p>One of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s surveys, the National Experts’ Survey, was applied to a sample of <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 675 key informants in Mexico at ten entities, seven of whom were categorized as non-centrally located.

    <jats:sec> <jats:title>Purpose</jats:title> <jats:p>Through human capital theory and the external enablers (EE) framework, this study investigates the dynamics of innovative entrepreneurial activity (IEA) among nascent entrepreneurs in Latin America (LA) and how the mechanisms of an external environmental shock, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, reshaped these dynamics.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Design/methodology/approach</jats:title> <jats:p>We use data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor of five representative Latin America countries covering the period from 2019 to 2022 and a logistical regression with robust standard error to test all our hypotheses.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Findings</jats:title> <jats:p>We empirically found that the COVID-19 pandemic acted as an EE for the enhancement of outcomes toward more innovative entrepreneurial activity. Additionally, the pandemic reduced the education gap, maintained the entrepreneurial experience gap and caused a gap between entrepreneurs with an alertness to perceive business opportunities and the innovative entrepreneurial activity in LA.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Originality/value</jats:title> <jats:p>We discuss the theoretical contributions that focus on the relationships between EEs and innovative entrepreneurial activity in LA countries and their practical implications, centering on how entrepreneurs, along with public and private actors, can meet the challenges of the new normal caused by an external shock. This study represents the first attempt to empirically analyze the impact of the pandemic before, during and in the “new normality”, with focus in IEA within the LA context.</jats:p> </jats:sec>

    <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Purpose</jats:title> <jats:p>The purpose of this study is to make an exploratory analysis of the impact of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) as defined by Acs <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> (2014) on opportunity-driven senior entrepreneurial activity in Latin America.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Design/methodology/approach</jats:title> <jats:p>The research uses data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute of five Latin America countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico), providing a total of 15,019 observations of people that are 50+ years old, between the years 2013 and 2017. A multi-level logistic regression model was used to estimate the relation between the total entrepreneurial activity by opportunity of seniors and some EE indicators. A total of three equations were estimated on the data set described.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Findings</jats:title> <jats:p>This research confirms the relevance of some elements of EE on senior entrepreneurship in Latin America. Entrepreneurial attitudes have a positive relationship with senior entrepreneurs, generating higher levels of entrepreneurial ventures. The combination of institutions that support these attitudes on the EE enhances senior entrepreneurial activity. It also demonstrates that a higher level of entrepreneurial education at postschool stages is relevant to increasing senior entrepreneurial activity.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Originality/value</jats:title> <jats:p>This research makes some interesting contributions in the field of measuring the impact of EE on senior entrepreneurship by opportunity in developing countries, filling a literature gap. It allows us to glimpse some measures that policymakers could take to improve the entrepreneurial activity of this segment in the region, such as implementing programs that facilitate networking opportunities and mentorship, along with providing training in business and financial literacy.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
