Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh ekosistem kewirausahaan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi berkelanjutan dengan daya saing sebagai variabel moderasi dan mediasi, serta variabel kontrol sosial dan lingkungan sebagai bagian dari identitas pembangunan berkelanjutan. Menggunakan data panel dari 65 negara (36 negara maju dan 29 negara berkembang) selama periode 2016–2019, penelitian ini mengembangkan empat model regresi data panel dan menguji hipotesis dengan uji statistik serta uji Sobel. Hasil empiris menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh ekosistem kewirausahaan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi lebih signifikan di negara maju dibandingkan negara berkembang. Sebaliknya, pengaruh ekosistem kewirausahaan terhadap daya saing lebih tinggi di negara berkembang. Namun, ketika daya saing berperan sebagai variabel moderasi dan mediasi, kontribusinya terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi lebih besar di negara maju, terutama dalam perannya sebagai moderasi. Temuan ini mengindikasikan pentingnya kebijakan yang mendukung kewirausahaan di negara berkembang, serta perlunya kolaborasi lintas sektor guna menciptakan ekosistem yang mampu mendorong munculnya wirausaha inovatif untuk pertumbuhan ekonomi yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan.

This study examines the influence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem on sustainable economic growth by incorporating competitiveness as both a moderating and mediating variable. Social and environmental factors are included as control variables to reflect the identity of sustainable development. The analysis is based on a panel dataset of 65 countries—36 developed and 29 developing countries—selected based on data availability from 2016 to 2019. Four panel regression models are employed, including hypothesis testing and the Sobel test. The empirical findings reveal that the entrepreneurial ecosystem has a greater impact on economic growth in developed countries than in developing ones. Conversely, its influence on competitiveness is more pronounced in developing countries. However, when competitiveness acts as a moderating and mediating variable, its contribution to economic growth is stronger in developed countries, with a more substantial effect observed in its role as a moderating variable. These findings suggest that to enhance sustainable economic growth, especially in developing countries, governments should implement policies that strengthen the entrepreneurial sector. Moreover, collaboration across various sectors is essential to foster an entrepreneurial ecosystem capable of generating innovative entrepreneurs and improving economic performance in an inclusive and sustainable manner.
