After the global economic crisis, the world has discovered that the driving force behind revitalizing a country's economy lies not solely in government initiatives but increasingly in entrepreneurs with an entrepreneurial spirit. Even amid the unprecedented pandemic situation caused by COVID-19, the entrepreneurial spirit, which identifies opportunities within crises, has consistently grown. Countries worldwide have implemented support and policies to foster a privately-led entrepreneurial ecosystem for economic activation. This study analyzes the factors influencing the activation of entrepreneurial activities in high-income countries by examining the entrepreneurial ecosystem environment surveyed by experts based on data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). Utilizing GEM data from 2000 to 2022, spanning 23 years of research on high-income countries, multiple regression analyses were conducted. The results indicate that taxes and regulations, government entrepreneurship programs, and cultural and social norms positively influence entrepreneurial activities in high-income countries. On the other hand, government policies and support, as well as physical and service infrastructure, exhibit a negative impact. Through this research, it is hoped that the findings will assist in guiding the direction of policies for the creation of entrepreneurial ecosystems, particularly for middle-income and low-income countries, aiming to enhance entrepreneurial activities in the future.
