Abstract The paper measures regional entrepreneurial performance level by constructing an index system of entrepreneurial efficiency, growth performance and employment performance in China, and then analyses the spatial characteristics and regional differences of entrepreneurial performance. The results show that regional entrepreneurial performance is positive spatial autocorrelation, entrepreneurial performance shows an obvious polarization trend between eastern region and western region, the overall difference of regional entrepreneurial performance is in a tendency to decline in fluctuation. Decomposing by internal structure based on the Gini coefficient, the contribution of establishment performance to the total difference is dominant, but the contribution from growth performance or employment performance tends to increase, so it should not be underestimated. From the perspective of inter-provincial differences in the region, compared with the central, west and northeast regions, the inter-provincial differences of entrepreneurial performance in the eastern region are more obvious. In the light of spatial decomposition based on Thiel index, the contribution of the interregional difference to the total difference is dominant, but the problem of increasing intra-regional difference should also be paid enough attention to.
