A control group study of incubators’ impact to promote firm survival (2010, background): “…are most frequently applied are different measures referring to innovativeness of firms, such as R&D intensity, patent activity or R&D expenditures (Colombo and Delmastro (2002); Westhead (1997); Lindelöf and Löfsten (2004); Squicciarini (2008); Radosevic and Myrzakhmet (2009)) measures of the…”
The impact of local and external university knowledge on the creation of knowledge-intensive firms: evidence from the Italian case (2014, unknown): “…of the total workforce in province i. Fourth, we included a dummy variable indicating whether there is at least one business incubator (BIi) in province i. Business incubators assist nascent firms in developing their businesses and provide support services to them (Colombo and Delmastro 2002).”
Critical Role and Screening Practices of European Business Incubators (2007, background): “See for example the report ‘Benchmarking of business incubators’ of the European Commission (2002) report or the work of Colombo and Delmastro (2002).”
Cooperation patterns of incubator firms and the impact of incubator specialization: Empirical evidence from Germany (2010, background): “Though, studies using the control-group concept find that on-park firms exhibit a higher degree of cooperation propensity in innovation processes with higher education institutions than comparable firms located outside those facilities (Colombo and Delmastro, 2002; Lindelöf and Löfsten, 2004; Fukuga”
Incubator firm failure or graduation?: The role of university linkages (2005, methodology): “While we thus control for incubator-idiosyncratic effects through drawing the sample exclusively from Georgia Tech's ATDC, one clear limitation of this approach is that we cannot draw implications for incubator differential performance as do Colombo and Delmastro (2002).”
The Evolution of Business Incubators: Comparing demand and supply of business incubation services across different incubator generations (2012, background): “Furthermore, research has found little or no evidence of BIs’ contribution to university–industry interaction (Rothaermel and Thursby, 2005a, 2005b), innovation activity (Colombo and Delmastro, 2002), or firm performance (Peña, 2004).”
Export propensity, export intensity and firm performance: The role of the entrepreneurial founding team (2012, background): “In terms of a firm’s performance a number of studies have found that firms located in science parks outperform those outside (Colombo and DelMastro, 2002; Ferguson and Olofsson, 2004).”
Transnational diaspora entrepreneurship in emerging markets: Bridging institutional divides (2010, background): “Previous research has identified a number of possible outcomes with which to assess incubator success (e.g., Chan and Lau, 2005; Colombo and Delmastro, 2002; Allen and McCluskey, 1990; Mian, 1997), but these studies rarely describe methods for actually measuring these outcomes.”
Entrepreneurs' human capital and the start-up size of new technology-based firms (2004, background): “13 disposal of a firm in an Italian incubator may impede achievement of the desired size (see Colombo and Delmastro 2002 for a description of Italian technology incubators). Therefore, we expect a negative coefficient for this variable. Rreal is the real interest rate in the year of firm’s foundatio”
Complements or Substitutes? The Role of Universities and Local Context in Supporting the Creation of Academic Spin-offs (2011, unknown): “Although we do ot have the exact figure for the number of Italian academic spinffs, relying on national assessments carried out by NETVAL (2009) s well as on some extant research (Colombo and DelMastro, 2002; ini et al., 2009; Piccaluga and Balderi, 2007), we are confident that ur sample accounts fo”
The role of science parks and business incubators in converging countries: Evidence from Portugal (2010, background): “Previous work list university linkages as having a role in the performance of SPs and BIs (Hackett and Dilts, 2004; Phan et al., 2005) and already speculated the influence of the nature of such linkages (Colombo and Delmastro, 2002).”
