Muppets and gazelles: political and methodological biases in entrepreneurship research (2014, unknown): “…and robust body of evidence, emerging from firm-level regressions of employment growth on size, which finds small firms grow faster (i.e., it finds a negative association between size [and age] and subsequent growth, when controlling for age [and size]) (for a survey see Coad 2009, Chapter 4).”
High-growth firms and innovation: an empirical analysis for Spanish firms (2014, methodology): “Second, following Coad and Rao (2008), we apply quantile regression in order not to restrict the error terms being identically distributed throughout the firm growth distribution.”
Strategies for superior performance under adverse conditions: A focus on small and medium-sized high-growth firms (2014, background): “The strategy–firm growth relationship has received much attention (Baum et al., 2001; Coad, 2009; Durand and Coeurderoy, 2001), but despite numerous studies, the results have been somewhat inconclusive.”
High-growth entrepreneurial firms in Africa: a quantile regression approach (2010, background): “Confronted with this scale cost-disadvantage, surviving small firms will grow rapidly to reach the MES, also allowing that above the MES, growth may be random.2 1 See Coad (2009) for a recent overview.”
‘Better late than never’: the interplay between green technology and age for firm growth (2017, background): “job creation, assets and sales growth (Coad 2009), our contribution to the nascent literature on the growth effects of green technologies focuses on employment.”
High-growth firms and productivity: evidence from the United Kingdom (2015, background): “For example, innovation has been considered an important attribute of HGFs (Coad 2009; Mason et al. 2009) as well as a high level of internationalisation (Mason and Brown 2010; Du and Temouri 2010).”
Firm Growth: Empirical Analysis (2010, unknown): “The R 2 usually takes values of around 5%, although in some cases it may reach up to 20-30% (see Coad 2009, Table 7.1 for a survey).”
Innovation and Firm Growth: Is R&D Worth It? (2012, background): “Large firms Firms with at least 500 employees in a given year firm and its public age as in Equation 1 (see Coad, 2009 for a review; Yang and Huang, 2005; Coad and Rao, 2008 for similar model specifications): gr i ;t ¼ bi þ b1gr i ;t21 þ b2log ðSi ;t21Þ þ b3RDSi ;t21 þ b4log ðPubAgei ;t Þ þ 1i ;t…”
Innovation and regional economic resilience: an exploratory analysis (2018, background): “…the growing body of international evidence at the microscale which shows that firms which invest more in research and development tend to perform better than their non-innovative counterparts through crises and have better long-term survival rates (Coad 2009; Roper and Xia 2014; UK BIS 2014a, b).”
Optimism and chance: The elephants in the entrepreneurship room (2011, background): “As noted earlier, Coad (2009) finds that even when using backcasting, only up to 15 percent of performance variation can be explained, implying that 85 percent remains unexplained.”
The Effects of General and Specific Human Capital on Long–Term Growth and Failure of Newly Founded Businesses (2013, unknown): “All these factors may increase the risk of failure (Coad, 2009).”
High-growth firms: Introduction to the special section (2014, background): “Nevertheless, the R2-values of models that are estimated to explain highgrowth events are low, usually explaining510% of the variation in the data (see e.g. Coad, 2009, Table 7.1).”
My first employee: an empirical investigation (2016, background): “…sought to respond to repeated calls for an improved understanding into the characteristics and determinants of firm growth (Gilbert et al. 2006; Coad 2009; McKelvie and Wiklund 2010) by suggesting that a better understanding of the growth of new ventures can be achieved by focusing on the…”
Are high-growth firms one-hit wonders? Evidence from Sweden (2015, background): “2014), whereas studies on firm growth in general use annual growth rates (Coad 2009).”
