This paper explores the effects that founding conditions have on the survival of new firms. A regression model which allows us to examine the role played by a number of different features of founding conditions on survival rates was estimated. The effect of founding conditions is estimated...

This study compares the patters of entry, survival and growth of domestic and foreign owned firms. We show that the post-entry behavior of foreign owned firms is quite different from that of their domestic counterparts. Among foreign entrants, we were able to distinguish between those which...

We compare the survival of new domestic and foreign owned firms. We analyze the determinants of the survival of new firms and investigate whether foreigness accounts for significant differences in the survival of new foreign and new domestic firms. We find survival to be determined by ownership...
