Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila Asian Development Bank 2024. 1 online resource; 35 pages text rdacontent txt other (Electronic resource) rdacarrier cz ADB Economics Working Paper Series No. 716 Information and communication technology or digital technology helped entrepreneurs survive the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) restrictions. For instance, they shifted to online sales in the face of stringent lockdowns and mobility constraints. The enhanced resilience of entrepreneurs, in turn, contributed to the resilience of the broader economy. This study explores the relationship between the quality of a country’s digital entrepreneurial ecosystem, measured by the Global Index of Digital Entrepreneurship Systems (GIDES), and its economic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on a cross-country analysis of 100 global economies, we find a positive association between GIDES and economic performance during the pandemic. This suggests that the quality of a country’s environment for digital entrepreneurs can strengthen its economic resilience even in the face of major shocks. Economics. Autio, Erkko author.
