Knowledge development, as a major factor of development at the individual, organizational, and economic levels, has been studied from various psychological, epistemological, management, economic, and sociological perspectives. However, in all these studies, human ecological factors that may affect knowledge development have been neglected, and a knowledge gap is strongly felt in this regard. Therefore, the purpose of the present article is to theoretically and empirically analyze the impact of ecological factors, such as the performance of knowledge ecosystems and the conditions of the knowledge ecosystem, on knowledge development in the macroeconomics. For this purpose, the theoretical foundations of knowledge ecology, the approach of national knowledge ecosystems, quantitative documentary methods, global secondary data from national knowledge ecosystems, and the structural equation modeling technique have been used. The research findings indicate a strong impact of some ecological factors (personal freedom, economic freedom, political environment, regulatory environment, and soft infrastructure) on knowledge development in the economy. These factors contribute to the development of knowledge in the economy by contributing to the behavior and performance of cognitive agents (such as businesses), metacognitive agents (such as universities), and their interactions with each other and their ecosystem. However, statistical analyses show that; despite the contribution of ecological factors to the national performance and international interactions of universities, the performance of universities does not contribute to the development of knowledge in the economy, and international interactions of universities have a negative impact on the development of knowledge in the economy. This is mainly due to the different nature of the knowledge that is developed in universities and the economy. The knowledge that is developed in universities is subjective and explicit. In contrast, the knowledge that is developed in the economy is objective and hidden. In this situation, universities can contribute to the development of knowledge in the economy when, first, they develop objective knowledge; and second, they effectively transform their subjective and explicit knowledge into objective and hidden knowledge.
