https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22875634Abstract
Methodological approaches to assessing entrepreneurial behavioral models in interactions with the state are examined. The study focuses on key factors influencing entrepreneurial behavior, including institutional trust, regulatory compliance, administrative burden, access to public services, adaptation to regulatory changes, and willingness to cooperate with government institutions. An integrated assessment framework combining quantitative indicators and survey methods is proposed to identify and classify different behavioral patterns among entrepreneurs. The proposed approach provides a methodological basis for improving state–business relations, reducing administrative barriers, and developing more effective policies to support entrepreneurship.Keywords
