State ownership and firm performance: Empirical evidence from Chinese listed companies (2013, unknown): “Firms dominated by the various state players maintain a greater respect by the market and outperform those with lower state blockholding levels (Hess et al., 2010). At high state shareholding levels, the state provides more resources and greater authority compared with small investors under a disper”
IPO Research in Management and Entrepreneurship: Moving the Agenda Forward (2009, background): “In support, evidence indicates that firms led by founder-CEOs perform better and are more likely to survive than firms led by nonfounder-CEOs following an IPO (Fischer & Pollock, 2004; He, 2008).”
Small firm innovation performance and employee involvement (2014, unknown): “2010; Davidsson and Honig 2003), the use of different information sources (Ozgen and Baron 2007) and other individual characteristics (e.g., Corbett 2007; He 2008).”
Boards, CEOS, and Surviving a Financial Crisis: Evidence from the Internet Shakeout (2011, methodology): “7 Following Fisher and Pollack (2004), we also use a measure of VC ownership concentration (the sum of the squared percentage”

Ownership versus Management Effects on Performance in Family and Founder Companies: A Bayesian Reconciliation (2011, unknown): “In other words, family management is ambiguous rather than negative (or positive) in its impact. Our findings also inform the literature on founder-managed firms which again has produced mixed performance findings. Using conventional regression analysis, He (2008) reported”
Entrepreneurial practices in research-intensive and teaching-led universities (2016, background): “…implemented in entrepreneurship studies that examine the impact of factors such as gender, race, ownership, ethnicity and immigration status on various forms of entrepreneurial activities (Block et al. 2015; Clark and Drinkwater 2010; Wagner 2008; He 2008; Lofstrom and Bates 2009 amongst others).”
