The emerging concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems has captured the attention of scholars, practitioners and policymakers. Although studies on entrepreneurial ecosystems continue to grow, their contributions are still disintegrated. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to present a systematic review of extant literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems and to develop a research agenda.,The study deployed a systematic literature review of 51 articles obtained from three comprehensive databases of Web of Science, Google Scholar and Scopus. The analysis includes two phases. First, a descriptive account of research on entrepreneurial ecosystems and second, a content analysis based on a thematic categorization of entrepreneurial ecosystems research.,The findings show that the concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems is both under-theorized and it has been recently dominated by conceptual studies. The focus of empirical research is on technology-based industries in Western economies using cases studies as methodological approach.,This review contributes to the body of knowledge on entrepreneurial ecosystems research by providing a systematic review following a thematic grouping of extant research into antecedents, outputs and outcomes of entrepreneurial ecosystems.,It reveals existing theoretical and empirical gaps in research as well as offering avenues of future research on entrepreneurial ecosystems.

创业生态系统：系统的文献综述和研究议程

新兴的企业家生态系统概念引起了学者，从业者和决策者的关注。尽管对企业家生态系统的研究不断增长，但它们的贡献仍在瓦解。因此，本文的目的是对现有的有关企业家生态系统的文献进行系统的综述，并制定研究议程。研究对来自Web of Science，Google Scholar和Google三个综合数据库的51篇文章进行了系统的文献综述。 Scopus。分析包括两个阶段。首先是对企业家生态系统研究的描述性说明，其次是基于对企业家生态系统研究的主题分类的内容分析。研究结果表明，企业家生态系统的概念既缺乏理论依据，又最近受到概念研究的支配。实证研究的重点是使用案例研究作为方法论方法的西方经济中基于技术的产业。通过对现存研究的前因，结果进行专题分组后，本文提供了系统的综述，从而对企业家生态系统研究知识体系做出了贡献它揭示了现有的理论和实证研究空白，并为未来的创业生态系统研究提供了途径。
