This title was first published in 2001. The dynamics of New Firm Formation (NFF) are central to the phenomenon of economic growth and development. While the economic importance of NFF has been recognized, the mechanisms that drive NFF are not well documented or understood. Illustrated by an in-depth case study from Texas, this volume analyzes the relationships between NFF and its localized context. Using specially-formulated fixed-effects regression models, the study brings about controversial new findings. These provide a counterpoint to the neoclassical theory that there is an adversarial relationship between small and large firms by instead suggesting that the relationship is more of a symbiotic one. Furthermore, it suggests that deep churning - the turnover and replacement in a business base - is a key factor in understanding the forces shaping regional economies.

The increase in worldwide entrepreneurial activity has resulted in an influx of entrepreneurial policies, focused upon promoting startup firms. This research attempts to increase the understanding of why new firm formation varies over time in a country. Based upon this increase in entrepreneurial policies, it is hypothesized that the increase in these policies impacts the level of new firm formation in the United States. The opportunity-individual-resource model of entrepreneurial policy is discussed, as are the links between new firm formation and technological capital, economic opportunity structure, individuals, and resources. Several hypotheses are proposed, examining new firm formation and technological capital intensity, antitrust enforcement, unemployment rates, labor union activity, venture capital, and government financial support. To test these hypotheses, a data set of time series data on new firm formation in the United States from 1968 through 1993 was used. The means of measuring various factors is discussed. The data were analyzed using Chi-square tests and the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for a times series regression. The results of the data analysis indicate that R&D stock per capita is positively correlated to new firm formation. The findings suggest that new firm formation is explained by macro policy factors surrounding opportunity, individual, and resource aspects.(AKP).

Empirical studies of determinants of new firm formation to date have tended to yield diverse and even contradictory results. Three primary reasons for this have been advanced: (1) the paucity of suitable micro-level data (2) the failure to control for amorphous time- and place-specific influences that defy specification, and (3) the use of estimation techniques that do not handle adequately the effects of heteroscedasticity. This paper addresses all of these shortcomings by employing a unique data set composed of annual data on localized firm entry, exit and a variety of predictor variables that has been analyzed to yield heteroscedasticity-corrected estimates while controlling for unspecified place- and period-specific influences. We test a variety of models seeking to explain patterns of new firm formation in terms of macroeconomic, demographic, and labor market processes, patterns of industrial restructuring, availability of local financial capital, and local public sector spending. Our results suggest that regional patterns of new firm formation can be explained by variation in unemployment change rates, mean establishment size, prior firm entry and exit dynamics, and the availability of local financial capital. We find no evidence of influence attributable to population or income dynamics, unemployment level, or local government spending.

The dynamic capability perspective is used as a way of understanding new firm formation.To better understand the ways in which entrepreneurs acquire resources, the gestational activities (actions that develop a business framework and operations that aid in creating a business) of new firms are reviewed. A thorough literature review covers research such as new firm formation, conceptual development, specificity, commonalities, and market dynamism.The data were collected from the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED), with 817 nascent entrepreneurs randomly chosen as subjects.The data were analyzed using Spearman's rho correlation and binary logistic regression. The gestational activities common to nascent entrepreneurs include developing models and/or prototypes, purchasing materials, committing full time to the venture, hiring employees, and engaging in promotional efforts. The findings of the study revealed the following:the process to firm formation becomes less complex as market velocity increases, and for low-tech nascent entrepreneurs only those who actually invest saved capital in the venture will succeed.It was also found that prior firm founding experience may negatively influence the chances of founding a new firm.The implications, limitations, and areas for future research are discussed.

The U.S. economy is highly dynamic: businesses open and close, workers switch jobs and start new enterprises, and innovative technologies redefine the workplace and enhance productivity. With globalization markets have also become more interconnected. Measuring business activity in this rapidly evolving environment increasingly requires tracking complex interactions among firms, establishments, employers, and employees. Understanding Business Dynamics presents strategies for improving the accuracy, timeliness, coverage, and integration of data that are used in constructing aggregate economic statistics, as well as in microlevel analyses of topics ranging from job creation and destruction and firm entry and exit to innovation and productivity. This book offers recommendations that could be enacted by federal statistical agencies to modernize the measurement of business dynamics, particularly the production of information on small and young firms that can have a disproportionately large impact in rapidly expanding economic sectors. It also outlines the need for effective coordination of existing survey and administrative data sources, which is essential to improving the depth and coverage of business data.

Entrepreneurship in the Region approaches many different aspects of entrepreneurship from a regional perspective. The regional influences on entrepreneurship analyzed entail regional peculiarities and disparities in new business formation processes, the success and the employment effects of new firms, the importance of social capital and of network structures as well as entrepreneurship education and training provided in the regions. The articles in this book provide strong evidence for the importance of regional factors that shape entrepreneurship and new firm formation processes. It is shown that regional differences of start-up rates and entrepreneurial attitudes are not at all elusive but tend to be rather persistent and prevail over longer periods of time. The evidence clearly suggests that the regional level can be an appropriate starting point for entrepreneurship policy and that research on the issue may considerably benefit from properly accounting for the spatial dimension.

Often considered one of the major forces behind economic growth and development, the entrepreneurial firm can accelerate the speed of innovation and dissemination of new technologies, thus increasing a country's competitive edge in the global market. As a result, cultivating a strong culture of entrepreneurial thinking has become a primary goal throughout the world. Surprisingly, there has been little systematic research or comparative analysis to show how the growth of entrepreneurship differs among countries in various stages of development. International Differences in Entrepreneurship fills this void by explaining how a country's institutional differences, cultural considerations, and personal characteristics can affect the role that entrepreneurs play in its economy. Developing an understanding of the origins of entrepreneurs as well as the choices they make and the complexity of their activities across countries and industries are of central importance to this volume. In addition, contributors consider how environmental factors of individual economies, such as market regulation, government subsidies for banks, and support for entrepreneurial culture affect the industry and the impact that entrepreneurs have on growth in developing nations.

While characteristically "Austrian" economic themes are clearly relevant to the business firm, Austrian economists have said little about management, organization and strategy. The 12 chapters in this work seek to advance the understanding of these issues by drawing on Austrian ideas.
