“…Nevertheless, for three incubator locations the analysis even reveals statistically significant lower chances of survival for those start-ups receiving support by an incubator. Our somewhat disillusioning results seem to confirm existing concerns raised previously (Seeger, 1997;Elle et al, 1997;Pleschak and Werner, 1999;Westhead and Storey, 1994). Given the empirical analysis of this paper, we arrive at the conclusion that being located in an incubator does not significantly increase the chances of long-term business survival.…”

“…The crucial question, as to whether incubation acts as means to overcome the resource deficiencies start-up firms face in the first years after the market entry (Hannan and Freeman 1984;Stinchcombe 1965), can only be answered by tracking the performance of incubated ventures after they have completed their incubation period (Hackett and Dilts, 2004;Hannon and Chaplin, 2003;Rothaermel and Thursby, 2005;Schwartz, 2009). Although, specifically in Germany, scholars are cautiously optimistic regarding the survival benefits of incubation (Seeger, 1997;Elle et al, 1997;Pleschak and Werner, 1999), an empirical analysis is currently nonexistent.…”

It is widely unclear as to whether start-up firms supported by publicly-initiated incubator initiatives have higher survival rates than comparable start-up firms that have not received support by such initiatives. This paper contributes to the underlying discussion by performing an empirical analysis of the long-term survival of 371 incubator firms (after their graduation) from five German incubators and contrasting these results with the long-term survival of a control group of 371 comparable non-incubated firms. The analysis covers a 10-year time span. To account for the problem of selection bias, a nonparametric matching approach is applied to identify an appropriate control group. For neither of the five incubator locations we find statistically significant higher survival probabilities for firms located in incubators compared to firms located outside those incubator organizations. For three incubator locations the analysis even reveals statistically significant lower chances of survival for those start-ups having received support by an incubator. We therefore arrive at the conclusion that being located in an incubatorcontrasting the widespread rhetoric of policy actors and incubator stakeholders -does not increase the chances of long-term business survival.
