“…In Europe and the U.S., the previously reviewed factors related to a firm's market entry or survival were translated into physical location characteristics, spatial concentration and diversification of industrial activities, and competition in accordance with industrial concentration, etc. (Basile et al, ; Buenstorf & Guenther, ; Cainelli et al, ; Görg & Strobl, ; Howell et al, ; Lopez‐Garcia & Puente, ; Neffke et al, ; Pe'er & Keil, ; Tavassoli & Jienwatcharamongkhol, ). However, the previous literature (Christie & Sjoquist, ; Falck, ) has stated that location and industrial features need to be reviewed more widely and in detail, because they could be relatively clear determinants of a firm's survival or duration.…”

“…A mixed effects Cox model was employed as the empirical analysis model, being based on a semiparametric approach that does not previously define a particular formal probability distribution . The Cox model was widely used in studies on firm survival (Pe'er & Keil ; Renski, , ; Ryu et al, ; Sohns & Diez, ; Tavassoli & Jienwatcharamongkhol, ; Yi, ), and a mixed effects Cox model applied to this study is an advanced form of the conventional Cox model. The equation of the mixed effects Cox model including both fixed and random effects can be expressed as follows:

λ false(t false) = λ_{0} false(t false) e^{(X β + Z b)},

b \sim G (0, Σ (θ)),

“…The key question in these studies is what factors affect the survival—in other words, closure or duration—of a firm, and studies have shown different results for various industrial sectors and countries . Additionally, previous empirical studies from various perspectives, in conjunction with not only location conditions but also urban and regional economics, have been recently published (Basile, Pittiglio, & Reganati, ; Cainelli, Montresor, & Marzetti, ; Geroski, Mata, & Pedro, ; Howell, He, Yang, & Cindy Fand, ; Low & Brown, ; Pe'er & Keil, ; Tavassoli & Jienwatcharamongkhol, ; Neffke, Henning, & Boschma, ).…”

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the survival of firms and the influence of agglomeration economies on firm location using a mixed effect Cox model considering random effects, given the industrial conditions of South Korea. Each agglomerative externality had a negative effect on the survival proportion of small startups except the related variety of the tertiary sector. However, the interaction effects between each externality and the location potential and among agglomerative externalities mostly played a complementary role to the survivability of startups; however certain effects reduced the survivability, and the effects were differentiated for each industrial sector. This study provides an advanced understanding of small firm performance after entry into the market in developing and developed nations.

“…La posición frente al efecto positivo que puede tener la aglomeración urbana sobre la supervivencia de una empresa, es apoyada por diversos autores (Tavassoli & Jienwatcharamongkhol, 2016;Fertala, 2008). Dicha aglomeración se entiende como la cantidad de habitantes de la zona, el ordenamiento del conjunto urbano y la distribución entre el núcleo y los suburbios.…”

ResumenEl presente artículo, producto de una investigación, pretende identificar y analizar los factores que determinan la sostenibilidad de los emprendimientos, evidenciando la relevancia de los efectos individuales y cruzados, relacionados con el emprendedor, el emprendimiento y el entorno, en la Subregión del Bajo Cauca -Colombia, para lo cual se abordó una metodología cuantitativa mediante un modelo semiparamétrico. Se utilizó una muestra de 101 emprendedores, 73 activos y 28 inactivos. El principal aporte de la investigación es determinar el grado en que cada variable, individualmente y en interacción con otras, afecta la supervivencia de los emprendimientos. Las variables que inciden sobre la supervivencia son: elaboración del plan de negocios, ubicación, endeudamiento, diversificación de la oferta y forma jurídica. Palabras clave: Emprendimiento; Supervivencia; Sostenibilidad; Análisis Semiparamétrico.

“… Notably, as explained by Beaudry and Schiffauerova (), the great majority of works have focused either on firm productivity (Cainelli et al, ; Martin et al, ; van Oort et al, ) or on the survival rate of entrepreneurial firms (Tavassoli & Jienwatcharamongkhol, ). …”

Firm employment growth in China: The role of marketization and regional economic factors

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Very heterogeneous patterns of firm employment growth characterize the Chinese provinces, suggesting the existence of a relationship between these and regional factors. This empirical work explores this topic by providing novel evidence of the role played by regional institutional and regional factors in firm employment growth in China during the decade 1998–2007, an important period in the Chinese transition towards a market economy. The results show that controlling for the internal determinants of firm performance, the firms located in provinces converging faster towards a market economy, exhibiting relatively better patterns (in terms of agglomeration, endowment of human capital, innovation and environmental protection) tend to expand their employment relatively more. These findings confirm the existence of a macro–micro‐connection as to what firm heterogeneity is concerned, as they reveal a differential growth channel along the regional dimension. In particular, local progress in government–market relationships appears as the most relevant dimension of marketization process. Given the regionally decentralized institutional system in China and considering its process of transformation, these findings inform local authorities concerned with the promotion of regional employment.
