This paper examines the relationship between new firm formation and regional employment change in The Netherlands. Using a
new regional data base for the period 1988–2002, we examine the time lags involved in the relationship. We also investigate
whether the relationship differs by sector and by degree of urbanization. We find that the maximum effect of new businesses
on regional development is reached after about 6 years. Our results also suggest that the overall employment impact of new-firm
start-ups is positive but that the immediate employment effects may be small in The Netherlands. Furthermore, we find that
the employment impact of new firms is strongest in manufacturing industries and that the employment impact of new firms is
stronger in areas with a higher degree of urbanization.

This paper investigates whether a high level of new business formation in a region stimulates employment growth in that region.
We look at the lag structure of these effects using a data set covering a fairly large time span (1982–2002). We find that
indirect effects of new firm births on subsequent employment growth are stronger than direct effects. However, indirect effects
only occur about 8 years after new firm formation. In particular, and unlike the findings from studies of other countries
using a similar approach, positive indirect effects do not seem to tail off in the Portuguese case. This is likely due to
a general pattern of results in which lags appear to be longer for Portugal. In view of these results, we suggest that the
lag times and magnitudes the effects on new firm formation on subsequent employment growth are likely dependent on the types
and qualities of start-ups.

This paper explores the effects of new business formation on employment growth in Spanish manufacturing industries. New firms
are believed to make an important contribution to economic growth but the extent of this contribution is unclear. We consider
time lags of new firm formation as explanatory variables of employment change and identify how long the effect of new firm
entries on employment lasts. Our main results show that the effects of new business formation are positive in the short term,
negative in the medium term and positive in the long term, thus confirming the existence of indirect supply-side effects found
in similar studies for other countries.

Much of the theoretical work on industry dynamics focuses on the role of ‘noisy’ selection and incomplete information on firm
entry and survival. We extend this research by looking at the impact of firm heterogeneity on employment effects for 320 U.S.
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA). We find that only start-ups with greater than 20 and less than 500 employees have persistent
employment effects over time and only in large diversified metropolitan regions. Therefore, both the type of entry (Gazelles)
and the characteristics of the region are important for employment growth.

The effect of new business formation on regional development over time: the case of Germany 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We investigate the effects of new business formation on employment change in German regions. A special focus is on the lag-structure
of this effect and on differences between regions. The different phases of the effects of new business formation on regional
development are relatively pronounced in agglomerations as well as in regions with a high-level of labor productivity. In
low-productivity regions, the overall employment effect of new business formation activity might be negative. The interregional
differences indicate that regional factors play an important role.

Effect of credit guarantee policy on survival and performance of SMEs in Republic of Korea 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
This study evaluates the effect of credit guarantee on SMEs at the firm level. To estimate the effect of credit guarantee,
we analyze relations between credit guarantee, the survival of guaranteed firms, and their productive performance. The result
indicates that credit guarantee frequency enabled guaranteed firms to achieve good performances in general. On the contrary,
the effect of guarantee amounts is ambiguous in that there is difference between the contemporary effect and the lagged effect.
Therefore, we conclude that credit guarantee satisfied partially its goal to alleviate SMEs’ difficulty in acquiring finance
and to stabilize employment.

Firm growth in industrial clusters of the United Kingdom 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article examines how firm growth is influenced by the strength of the industrial cluster in which the firm is located.
It presents econometric estimates of firm growth for 56 two-digit industries in the UK. In about half of these industries,
there is a positive and statistically significant association between firm growth and own-sector employment. Significant associations
between firm growth and other-sector employment are less common, but where these arise they are generally negative. We find
that a weak rule of thumb applies in most industries: own-sector effects are positive or insignificant, while other-sector
effects are negative or insignificant. Cluster effects are strongest in manufacturing, manufacturing-related, and infrastructure,
but weaker in services.

In this paper, we consider third-degree price discrimination in two markets in the presence of asymmetric consumption externalities;
we establish that under plausible conditions, a firm reduces its price in the market with low price elasticity of demand.
The firm can increase its profits by reducing the price for these consumers and enlarging the demand for other consumers,
provided that positive consumption externalities exist. Moreover, we show that third-degree price discrimination enhances
not only the firm’s profit but also total consumer surplus.

The article analyses the relationship between succession and firm performance. Applying a non-parametric matching approach
on a panel of roughly 4,000 Austrian family firms we evaluate the impact of actual (past) succession as well as planned (future)
successions on employment growth. Analysing succession plans, we do not find a significant difference in employment growth
between firms that plan to transfer the firm in the next 10 years and those who do not. In contrast, past succession exerts
a significant and positive employment growth effect, which becomes stronger over time.

The study investigates how an organization’s entrepreneurial orientation moderates the interplay between market orientation
and marketing subunit influence on firm performance. The hypothesized model predicts that the positive interaction between
market orientation and marketing subunit influence has a weaker effect on firm performance under conditions of high entrepreneurial
orientation. The regression and supplementary analyses provide support for most predictions and, most importantly, for a negative
three-way interaction effect: At higher levels of entrepreneurial orientation, the positive moderating effect of marketing
subunit influence on the market orientation–business performance relationship is reduced. The authors discuss the managerial
and theoretical implications of their findings and provide a number of directions for further research.

This article addresses the question of whether lump-sum bonuses motivate salespeople to work harder to attain incremental
orders or whether they induce salespeople to play timing games (behaviors that increase incentive payments without providing
incremental benefits to the firm) with their order submissions. We find that lump-sum bonuses primarily motivate salespeople
to work harder—a result that is consistent with the widespread use of bonuses in practice, but that contradicts earlier empirical
work in academics.

On the basis of the bidding history of a panel of new eBay bidders, we examine the impact of different types of experiences
on bidding behavior evolution. Accounting for unobserved bidder heterogeneity, the results indicate that losing experiences
make the bidders’ bidding behavior evolve toward the normative predictions of auction theory, in that they submit fewer bids
and bid later. Winning experiences, however, do not have such an effect. Moreover, the experience effect pertains to the bidder’s
entire previous bidding experience regardless of product categories. We also assess the potential bias introduced by using
feedback ratings (compared with actual participation) as experience measures.

We investigate the relationship between free-standing insert advertising style and coupon redemption. Results from two experiments
indicate that the propensity to clip a coupon can be enhanced by matching ad tone (emotional vs rational) to the nature of
a consumer’s primary motivation with respect to coupon usage. Moreover, this result appears to hold for consumers with both
procoupon and anticoupon inclinations.

Managing the shipment of goods to consumers is one of the central aspects of retail competition on the internet. In this article, we analyze internet retailers’ shipping strategies using data from the internet book retailing industry. We find that, controlling for a variety of observable firm characteristics, firms with lower product prices offer lower shipping fees and higher quality shipping in terms of average delivery time, compared to firms with higher product prices. These patterns cannot be readily reconciled with a large class of models of competition under perfect consumer information. Theories based on imperfect consumer information can explain the findings better.

The death of firms: exploring the effects of environment and birth cohort on firm survival in Sweden 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Marcus Box 《Small Business Economics》2008,31(4):379-393
This paper investigates the death of firms and seizes a long-term perspective. It investigates the life spans of nearly 2,200
firms in seven birth cohorts of Swedish joint-stock companies, founded during seven separate years between 1899 and 1950.
Research has traditionally emphasized individual- and micro-oriented factors in explaining post-entry performance, or has
often focused on the influence of firm-specific structural factors (firm age and size). A less attended field recognizes environmental
forces. This paper focuses on the interaction between the micro and macro levels, and combines structural and environmental
factors. Employing a cohort approach, it relates firm survival to firm age and size, as well as to the effect of cohort affiliation
and environmental change over time (period effects). During macroeconomic expansion, the risk of death decreases. Cohort effects
are also evident. Firms founded during times of economic crisis exhibit lower survival rates. Consequently, cohort affiliation
and environmental forces, i.e. period effects, can explain differences in death rates in different firm populations.

Innovation in SMEs exhibits some peculiar features that most traditional indicators of innovation activity do not capture.
Therefore, in this paper, we develop a structural model of innovation that incorporates information on innovation success
from firm surveys along with the usual R&D expenditures and productivity measures. We then apply the model to data on Italian
SMEs from the “Survey on Manufacturing Firms” conducted by Mediocredito-Capitalia covering the period 1995–2003. The model
is estimated in steps, following the logic of firms’ decisions and outcomes. We find that international competition fosters
R&D intensity, especially for high-tech firms. Firm size and R&D intensity, along with investment in equipment, enhances the
likelihood of having both process and product innovation. Both these kinds of innovation have a positive impact on firm’s
productivity, especially process innovation. Among SMEs, larger and older firms seem to be less productive.

Despite the fact that many firms in a wide range of industries in various countries internationalize at or near inception,
research on factors leading to the formation of born-globals has been limited to firms from advanced, open economies. In order
to give a voice to the phenomenon of Vietnamese founding born-globals, we conducted an exploratory, multiple-case study. Three
findings of this study are: (1) the major driver to the formation of Vietnamese born-globals is the entrepreneurs’ leadership
desire together with the need for short-term profits; (2) their choice of internationalization mode is influenced by market
conditions as well as the internationalization degree of the industries in which they find their business opportunities; and
(3) the reason why other motivators found in earlier studies do not apply lies in the peculiarity of the Vietnam context.

The impact of public guarantees on credit to SMEs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article provides an in-depth evaluation of the impact of public credit guarantees to SMEs in increasing credit availability
and reducing borrowing costs, without compromising their financial sustainability. Extensive econometric tests have been carried
out by comparing the performance of the SMEs that benefited from such guarantees in Italy with a sample of comparable firms.
The findings confirm the presence of a causal relationship between the public guarantee and the higher debt leverage of guaranteed
firms, as well as their lower debt cost. Italy’s guarantee instrument has proved to be an effective instrument in these respects.

Many Continental European countries recently reformed their bankruptcy legislations to stimulate reorganization and firm survival.
We show that the Belgian 1997 bankruptcy code reform, which implemented several international best practice recommendations,
significantly reduced aggregate small and micro business bankruptcy rates. However, using distributed lag models to control
for the relationship between bankruptcy rates and macroeconomic variables such as real GDP growth, consumer confidence, inflation,
etc., we find that the new code’s impact is not the same for all types of companies. Specifically, while the beneficial effect
of the reform is largely similar between small firms (i.e. stock corporations) and micro firms (i.e. partnerships), it is
only significant in certain industries (manufacturing and trade). Overall, our results indicate that especially the measures
taken to limit domino bankruptcy effects are likely to have had a substantial impact. Our findings have several policy implications
for the evaluation and modification of the bankruptcy system.
