Fritsch, Michael; Mueller, Pamela - 2005

We investigate regional differences in the level and the development of regional new business formation activity. There is a pronounced variance of start-up rates across the regions. The level of regional new firm formation is rather pathdependent so that changes are relatively small. The main...

What causes cross-industry differences of technical efficiency? : an empirical investigation

Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - 2004

Using micro-level panel data of about 35,000 firms from the German Cost Structure Census, we analyze the differences of technical efficiency across industries. Technical efficiency is estimated by firms fixed effects. One striking result is that the distribution of technical efficiency across...

The distribution and heterogeneity of technical efficiency within industries : an empirical assessment

Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - 2004

This paper analyzes the distribution of technical efficiency within manufacturing industries. Using a representative sample of 35,000 firms in 255 industries of the German cost structure census, technical efficiencies are estimated by applying a deterministic frontier production function with...

Audretsch and Fritsch (2002) proposed two explanations for the mixed evidence regarding the relationship between new firm formation and regional development. Firstly, they found evidence for the existence of long time lags needed before the main effects of new firm formation on employment change...

The effect of industry, region and time on new business survival : a multi-dimensional analysis

Fritsch, Michael; Brixy, Udo; Falck, Oliver - 2004

We analyze the effect of industry, region and time on new-business survival rates by means of a multi-dimensional approach. The data relate to West German districts in the 1983-2000 period. The survival chances of start-ups tend to be relatively low in industries characterized by a high minimum...

The effect of new business formation on regional development over time : the case of Germany

Fritsch, Michael (contributor); Mueller, Pamela (contributor) - 2006

We investigate the effects of new business formation on employment change in German regions. A special focus is on the lag-structure of this effect and on differences between regions. The different phases of the effects of new business formation on regional development are relatively pronounced...

Universities and innovation in space

Fritsch, Michael (contributor); … - 2006

We investigate the role of universities as a knowledge source for regional innovation processes. The contribution of universities is tested on the level of German NUTS-3 regions (Kreise) by using a variety of indicators. We find that the intensity and quality of the research conducted by the...
