Cross‐Country Determinants of Early‐Stage Necessity and Opportunity‐Motivated Entrepreneurship: Accounting for Model Uncertainty (2018, unknown): “Using NIKOLAEV, BOUDREAUX, AND PALICH 247 data from West Germany, Pfeiffer and Reize (2000) find that such ventures do not necessarily perform worse in terms of employment growth and survival probability.”
Founding conditions and the survival of new firms (2009, background): “Individuals that are unemployed are known to be more likely to create new firms than those that have a job (Evans and Leighton 1989), but firms created by unemployed also face a higher probability of failure (Pfeiffer and Reize 2000).”
Before and after the Hartz Reforms: The Performance of Active Labour Market Policy in Germany (2006, unknown): “The study by Pfeiffer and Reize (2000) compares firm survival and employment growth of start-ups by unemployed persons receiving bridging allowance and other, regular start-ups, based on firm data from 15 regions in East and West Germany.”
How Do Risk Attitudes Differ within the Group of Entrepreneurs? The Role of Motivation and Procedural Utility (2015, background): “Analyzing the relationship between the entrepreneur’s motivation and risk attitude allows us to understand the effects of policy programs specifically designed for necessity entrepreneurs (Bergmann and Sternberg 2007; Pfeiffer and Reize 2000; Sandner and Block 2008; Shane 2009).”
The impact of human capital on the early success of necessity versus opportunity-based entrepreneurs (2014, background): “…self employment directly from unemployment exit to a higher extent than those who have entered directly from paid employment (Carrasco, 1999; Pfeiffer and Reize, 2000), and that new founders who were formerly unemployed have on average lower economic outcomes and a lower propensity to…”
Do more heavily regulated economies have poorer performing new ventures?

Net Job Creation in an Increasingly Autonomous Economy: The Challenge of a Generation (2019, background): “Historically, economies around the world have relied on the birth and growth of new firms for job growth (Birch, 1979; Neumark, Wall, & Zhang, 2008; Pfeiffer & Reize, 2000; Phillips & Kirchhoff, 1989).”
Drivers of Entrepreneurship and Post-Entry Performance of Newborn Firms in Developing Countries (2014, unknown): “As far as unemployment (or the fear of becoming unemployed, see Section 3) is concerned, the literature points out two stylized facts: 1) those who start a new business as an escape from unemployment exit to a higher extent than those who have entered from paid employment (see Carrasco, 1999; Pfeiff”
Does Entrepreneurship Reduce Unemployment (2001, unknown): “Firm start-ups hire employees, resulting in subsequent decreases in unemployment (Lin, Manser and Picot, 1998; Pfeiffer and Reize, 2000). Furthermore, increased entrepreneurial activity may influence country-wide economic performance (van Stel, Carree and Thurik, 2005). For example, entrepreneurs en”
Determinants of self-employment survival in Europe (2012, unknown): “Thus, work by Pfeiffer and Reize (Reize 2000; Pfeiffer and Reize 2000a, b and Reize 2004) shows a great variety of results for several analyses conducted for West and East Germany at both individual and firm levels.”
Does self-employment reduce unemployment? (2005, unknown): “Firm start-ups hire employees, resulting in subsequent decreases in unemployment (Lin, Manser and Picot, 1998; Pfeiffer and Reize, 2000).”
Born to be alive? The survival of innovative and non-innovative French micro-start-ups (2014, background): “Thus, it is not surprising that the literature finds a positive effect of subsidy or exemption (giving strength to the cash-flow) on survival (Caliendo & Kritikos, 2010; Pfeiffer & Reize, 2000).”
The Effect of Industry, Region, and Time on New Business Survival – A Multi-Dimensional Analysis (2004, methodology): “On the other hand, the opportunity cost of a formerly unemployed entrepreneur is relatively low, so these founders will not give up a non-successful business easily but will tend to fight until the situation appears hopeless (for an empirical test see Pfeiffer and Reize, 2000).”
