Investigating the Exponential Age Distribution of Firms (2010, background): “…example, Delacroix and Carroll (1983) on Argentinian and Irish newspapers, Barron et al. (1994) on credit unions in New York City, Klepper (2002) on the automobile, tyre, television, and penicillin industries in the US, and Thompson (2005) on the iron and steel shipbuilding industry in the US).”
Pre-Entry Knowledge, Learning, and the Survival of New Firms (2009, background): “The latter explanation is particularly intriguing in light of empirical findings showing that the effects of pre-entry experience on firm survival do not diminish as firms gain subsequent postentry experience (Thompson 2005).”
Entrepreneurial exit and entrepreneurial engagement (2011, background): “Thompson (2005) uses previous experience in the industry as a proxy for entrepreneurial quality and finds that this pre-entry experience has large and persistent effects on survival.”
ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY AND INNOVATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE INTENSIVE BUSINESS SERVICE SECTOR (2008, background): “…showed no tendency to diminish as firms gained post-entry experience, and that they were not diminished by controlling for firm size [. . .] the evidence suggests that the circumstances surrounding a firm’s birth permanently conditions what it does throughout its life’ (Thompson, 2005; p. 35).”
The impact of aging and technological relatedness on agglomeration externalities: a survival analysis (2012, unknown): “Most of these studies have looked at survival of firms or plants with respect to their size and age (Disney et al., 2003), pre-entry experience (Thompson, 2005), the structure of the market (Cantner et al., 2006; Buenstorf, 2007), the maturity of the industry (Agarwal and Gort, 2002), or…”
Evolution on the Shoulders of Giants: Entrepreneurship and Firm Survival in the German Laser Industry (2007, methodology): “Thompson (2005) similarly finds strong effects of pre-entry experience on survival in the U.S. shipbuilding industry.”
Creation and Pursuit of Entrepreneurial Opportunities: An Evolutionary Economics Perspective (2007, background): “Recent empirical work on both the U.S. and the German laser industries (Klepper and Sleeper, 2005; Klepper and Thompson, 2005; Buenstorf, 2005) has shown that in both countries, the emergence of new submarkets has enabled sustained increases in the number of active firms, with new entry having been…”
Small business survival and sample selection bias (2011, background): “For example, Thompson (2005) found that missing information related to firm-owner's experience resulted in an upward bias of coefficient estimates.”
Heritage and Agglomeration: The Akron Tyre Cluster Revisited (2009, unknown): “…that performed better in their original industry and spinoffs from better firms tend to perform better than other diversifiers and spinoffs (Mitchell, 1991; Klepper and Simons, 2000; Thompson, 2005; Klepper, 2007a,b), suggesting that the competence of entrants depends on their heritage.”
Product Innovation and Survival in a High-Tech Industry (2009, background): “Recent studies have stressed that firm surviv al is also related to the mode of entry (Buenstorf, 2007; Thompson, 2005 ).”
