What really happens to small and medium-sized enterprises in a global economic recession? UK evidence on sales and job dynamics (2015, unknown): “For example, whilst there is virtually no evidence found between performance and the age of entrepreneur, some studies have found a positive relationship between experience and small business performance (Burke et al, 2000; Honig, 1998; Watson et al, 2003; Westhead et al, 2003; Zarutskie, 2010).”
The Multiple Effects of Business Planning on New Venture Performance (2010, background): “Storey (1994), Evans and Jovanovic (1989), Burke et al. (2000), and Haber and Reichel (2007) all argue that a lack of resources is one of the main obstacles to venture start-up and growth.”
The genetic basis of entrepreneurship: Effects of gender and personality (2009, background): “Based on a large sample from the British National Child Development Study, Burke, FitzRoy, and Nolan (2000) found that anxiety acceptance (a measure of extraversion) assessed at the age of 11 was positively associated with entrepreneurial status and venture performance in adult life.”
Self-employment Wealth and Job Creation: The Roles of Gender, Non-pecuniary Motivation and Entrepreneurial Ability (2002, methodology): “See both Blanchflower and Oswald (1998) and Burke et al. (2000) .”
Can genetic factors influence the likelihood of engaging in entrepreneurial activity (2009, methodology): “…a wide range of studies that the likelihood of engaging in entrepreneurial behavior increases with parental self-employment (Shapero and Sokol, 1982; de Wit and van Winden, 1989; Butler and Herring, 1991; Taylor, 1996; Burke et al., 2000; Uusitalo, 2001; Aldrich and Kim, 2007; Sorenson, 2007).”
Individual Determinants of Self-Employment Entry – What Do We Really Know? (2013, unknown): “…personal accident claims, redundancy payments, life-insurance policies, pension cash-outs, or changes in housing wealth (Lindh and Ohlsson, 1996; Blanchflower and Oswald, 1998; Burke et al., 2000, 2002; Taylor, 2001; Henley, 2005; Disney and Gathergood, 2009; Fairlie and Krashinsky, 2012).”
Gender Differences in Entrepreneurial Propensity (2013, unknown): “Differences in opportunity recognition are significant in all 17 countries, and could reflect different abilities of men and women in identifying business opportunities (Burke et al., 2000) or objectively worse business opportunities for women (Fischer et al., 1993).”
Opportunity recognition and the tendency to be an entrepreneur: A bivariate genetics perspective (2009, background): “� Self-employment, (Amit, Muller, & Cockburn, 1995; Burke et al., 2000; Evans & Leighton, 1989; Parker, 2004; Taylor, 1996; Van Praag & Cramer, 2001; Sorenson, 2007), which we operationalize with the question: ‘‘in your working life, how long have you been self-employed?” � Starting a new business”
Did firm age, experience, and access to finance count? SME performance after the global financial crisis (2018, unknown): “For example, whilst there is virtually no evidence found between performance and the age of entrepreneur, some studies have found a positive relationship between experience and small business performance (Burke et al, 2000; Honig, 1998; Watson et al, 2003; Westhead et al, 2005; Zarutskie, 2010).”
