The Determinants of Regional Variation in New Firm Formation
Abstract
While much of the literature on new firm formation in the 1980s was motivated by high levels of unemployment, much of the focus on new firm start-ups today is motivated by high technology. Using a new database we examine the role of human capital, training and education, and entrepreneurial environment on new firm formation. We find significant differences in new firm formation rates from industrial regions to technologically progressive regions. Variations in firm birth rates are explained by industrial density, population and income growth. These results are consistent with thick labour markets and localized knowledge spillovers. Alors que le chômage constituait le principal moteur de la documentation sur la création d'entreprise dans les années 80, de nos jours c'est plutôt la nouvelle technologie qui en est le moteur. A partir d'une nouvelle base de données, cet article cherche à examiner le rôle du capital humain, de la formation et de l'éducation, et du milieu propice à la création d'entreprise. Il s'avère d'importants écarts dans les taux de création d'entreprise entre les régions industrielles et les régions plus à la pointe de la technologie. La variation du taux de création d'entreprise s'explique par la densité industrielle, la démographie et la croissance du revenu. Ces résultats-là correspondent aux notions de marchés du travail forts et de retombées des connaissances localisées. Während in den achtziger Jahren ein Großteil der Literatur über die Gründung neuer Firmen durch den hohen Grad der Erwerbslosigkeit veranlaßt worden war, verdankt sie heute das Interesse an Firmengründungen hauptsächlich der Hochtechnologie. Mit Hilfe einer neuen Datenbank werden die Einflüsse von Menschenkapital, Ausbildung und Erziehung und einer unternehmerfreundlichen Umwelt auf Firmengründungen untersucht. Es werden signifikante Unterschiede in den Raten neuer Firmengründungen in Industriegebieten und technologisch fortschrittlichen Gebieten festgestellt. Schwankungen in Firmengründungsraten finden ihre Erklärung in Industriedichte, Bevölkerung und Einkommensanstieg. Diese Ergebnisse stimmen mit starken Arbeitsmärkten und örtlich beschränkter Verbreitung von Kenntnisen überein.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
