The effect of industry, region and time on new business survival : a multi-dimensional analysis

Michael Fritsch; Udo Brixy; Oliver Falck

We analyze the effect of industry, region and time on new-business survival rates by means of a multi-dimensional approach. The data relate to West German districts in the 1983-2000 period. The survival chances of start-ups tend to be relatively low in industries characterized by a high minimum efficient size and high numbers of entries. Regional growth has a rather pronounced positive influence on survival rates, while the relationship between the nationwide development of the particular industry and survival tends to be negative. We also find a remarkably high level of spatial autocorrelation. -- New-firm survival ; hazard ; entry ; market selection
