Entrepreneurship and the Process of Firms' Entry, Survival and Growth (2007, unknown): “Consistently with the discussion earlier, Cefis and Marsili (2006a, b) presented convincing evidence of an “innovation premium” in survival time: using Pavitt’s (1984) taxonomy, they showed that young firms (less than 4 years old) in science-based and specialised supplier sectors were characterised ”
CSR, Innovation, and Firm Performance in Sluggish Growth Contexts: A Firm-Level Empirical Analysis (2015, background): “Cefis and Marsili (2005), examining the effects of innovation on survival using data about Dutch manufacturing firms, show that firms benefit from an innovation premium that extends their life in the industry, independent of firm age or size.”
THE ELIXIR (OR BURDEN) OF YOUTH? EXPLORING DIFFERENCES IN INNOVATION BETWEEN START-UPS AND ESTABLISHED FIRMS. (2008, background): “…has also shown that CIS-based innovation measures have predictive validity for explaining a range of performance outcomes, including firm survival (Cefis and Marsili 2005), productivity (Mairesse and Mohnen 2002), sales growth (He and Wong 2004; Lööf and Hesmati 2002), and exports (MacGarvie…”

The Effects of General and Specific Human Capital on Long–Term Growth and Failure of Newly Founded Businesses (2013, unknown): “Most empirical studies treated survival versus failure as a dummy-coded event (e.g., Audretsch, 1995; Bruederl et al., 1992; Cefis & Marsili, 2005).”
Signaling in Equity Crowdfunding (2015, unknown): “It can simultaneously allow new firms to enter the market while helping established firms secure their competitive positions and thus their survival (Cefis & Marsili, 2005).”
Born to be alive? The survival of innovative and non-innovative French micro-start-ups (2014, background): “…when SMEs’ innovation is described as a favorable factor for survival, the level of its impact varies wether it is a product or a process innovation (Cefis & Marsili, 2005) and depending on its degree (Saemundsson & Dahlstrand, 2005): ultimately, in the case of a major innovation, being innovative…”
