Drivers of Entrepreneurship and Post-Entry Performance of Newborn Firms in Developing Countries (2014, positive): “Many studies have discovered a positive relationship between start-up size and survival (see Audretsch and Mahmood, 1995; Mata, Portugal and Guimaraes, 1995; Agarval and Audretsch, 2001; for more controversial results, see Audretsch, Santarelli and Vivarelli, 1999a and 1999b).”
Evolutionary agglomeration theory: increasing returns, diminishing returns, and the industry life cycle (2011, background): “…theoretical perspective, many scholars argue that industries evolve according to a similar pattern, known as the industry life cycle (which is also referred to as the ‘product life cycle’) (Vernon, 1966; Klepper and Grady, 1990; Klepper, 1996; Agarwal and Gort, 2002; Agarwal and Audretsch, 2001).”
To be born is not enough: the key role of innovative start-ups (2016, positive): “Further empirical evidence confirmed the importance of size and age and showed that their impact on firms’ survival changes across different sectors, according to the stage of the industry lifecycle and the technological regime (Caves and Porter 1977; Klepper 1996, 1997; Agarwal and Audretsch 2001; ”

Survivor: The Role of Innovation in Firms' Survival (2006, positive): “At the industry level, the characteristics of demand, such as market size and growth rates (Mata and Portugal, 1994), the characteristics of technology (Audretsch, 1995) and the life cycle (Agarwal and Audretsch, 2001) have been found to be important determinants of the survival probability.”
Firm survival: methods and evidence (2008, background): “ Agarwal and Audretsch (2001) also report changes in the ‘‘liability of smallness’’ over the industry cycle and the technological regime.”
