“…Hence, the best locations for the establishment of new supply points, if a firm is considering to successfully enter the private hospital health care market in Portugal as a new competitor, will be in other areas, namely, the dark shaded areas, or in locations close to these areas, which are mostly less urbanized, rural or semirural areas. This is in accordance with the study of Huiban (), which indicates that survival rates of entrants are significantly higher in relatively less urbanized, more rural regions.…”

Spatial analyses and competition assessments can be used by firms to identify target geographic markets for entry. By integrating these two kinds of analysis, this paper presents an innovative method that identifies target geographic markets for health care providers. In these target markets, supply is potentially insufficient to satisfy demand and competition problems that make entry unsuccessful are not expected to occur. Considering the Portuguese hospital health care market, an application of the method in a case study illustrates how the method works in practice.

“…An interesting related research question is whether the high levels of competition have a stronger effect on ex-ante selection than on ex-post selection. Because of this competition element, metropolitan in particular, but also urban areas, are likely to have a positive effect on exit in real markets (Huiban, 2009). Competition is more likely to be experienced in real markets than in imagined markets, so we do not expect an effect (or perhaps only a small effect) of the competition element on giving up entrepreneurial intentions or efforts.…”

Abstract: Entrepreneurs exit their businesses due to selection pressures they experience in the market place. In addition to this well-known ex-post decision to exit, entrepreneurs select ex-ante whether they are willing to pursue an entrepreneurial career at all, or to give up their entrepreneurial intentions. Hardly anything is known about the latter selection process in imagined markets that precedes the creation of variation and selection process in real markets. This paper explores these two selection processes using survey data on 20,000 individuals in 27 European countries and the US in 2007. We distinguish business failure from exit by sell-off. Individuals in the US are less likely to exit imagined markets and are more likely to exit the real market than are Europeans. Individuals in a corporatist welfare state regime have relatively high chances to exit imagined markets but low chances to exit real markets (due to failure). Business owners in metropolitan and urban environments are more likely to fail than their rural counterparts, while individuals with a high risk tolerance and individuals with a self-employed parent are less likely to exit imagined or real markets (via business failure). In short, this study shows that exit in real and in imagined markets is differently affected by individual characteristics as well as by the competitive and institutional environment.

“…Second, the chances of finding a job, finding an entrepreneurial opportunity and/or selling the firms' assets to another venture can be higher (Huiban, 2011). Third, as discussed below, since large urban areas attract more entry, the higher share of young firms may lead to higher exits.…”
