The impact of local and external university knowledge on the creation of knowledge-intensive firms: evidence from the Italian case (2014, unknown): “These personal networks cause emotional attachment to areas where prospective entrepreneurs have lived, this being an important driver of firms’ location choices (Dahl and Sorenson 2009).”
Home Sweet Home: Entrepreneurs' Location Choices and the Performance of Their Ventures (2010, unknown): “Entrepreneurs exhibit a great deal of geographic inertia in terms of choosing locations for their new ventures—that is, they tend to open their businesses in the regions in which they were born or where they have lived for a long time (Michelacci and Silva 2007; Dahl and Sorenson 2009).”
Regional public research, higher education, and innovative start-ups: an empirical investigation (2013, background): “Second, founders show a pronounced tendency to locate their firm in close spatial proximity to their former workplace or to the place where they reside (Figueiredo et al. 2002; Dahl and Sorenson 2009).”
Staying Power: What Influences Micro-firm Survival in Tourism? (2013, background): “Since entrepreneurs tend to start their business in their home region due to various social ties (Dahl & Sorenson 2009), ‘the role of the state and local state as agents of change’ (Hall & Williams 2008: 204) is then likely to be of great importance in supporting a successful regional…”
Regional knowledge, entrepreneurial culture, and innovative start-ups over time and space―an empirical investigation (2018, background): “Second, founders have a pronounced tendency to locate their firms in close spatial proximity to their former workplace, or near where they reside (Figueiredo et al. 2002; Dahl and Sorenson 2009).”
Regions Matter: How Localized Social Capital Affects Innovation and External Knowledge Acquisition (2012, background): “To a degree, this assumption is supported by Dahl and Sorenson (2009), who find that entrepreneurs place much more emphasis on closeness to family and friends when deciding where to locate those businesses than on regional characteristics that might influence the performance of their ventures .”
Industrial Dynamics and Clusters: A Survey (2015, background): “Since spinoffs tend to locate in the same region as the parent firm (KLEPPER, 2007; DAHL and SORENSON, 2009), a cluster emerges once a few successful firms start to create many successful spinoffs which, in turn, create successful spinoffs themselves.9 Once exit rates start to increase due to…”
Why Family Matters: The Impact of Family Resources on Immigrant Entrepreneurs’ Exit from Entrepreneurship (2016, unknown): “To date, the literature on entrepreneurs’ embeddedness mostly consists of studies showing how entrepreneurs are influenced by the spatial context (Dahl and Sorenson, 2009) as well as by social institutions, such as workplaces (Kenney and Goe, 2004).”
The Effectiveness of University Knowledge Spillovers: Performance Differences between University Spinoffs and Corporate Spinoffs (2011, background): “Since tenure in a region has shown to be correlated with an extensive social network, this variable approximates, albeit in a coarse manner, for the possibility that a new venture‘s survival is positively enhanced by its firm founders‘ social capital (Dahl and Sorenson, 2009).”
Entrepreneurship, Evolution and Geography (2009, background): “Dahl and Sorenson (2009) conclude in their empirical study of Danish entrepreneurs, that entrepreneurs appear to value proximity to family and friends not for the help that those connections might offer to their ventures but for emotional reasons.”
Practice Makes Perfect: Entrepreneurial-Experience Curves and Venture Performance (2014, unknown): “Entrepreneurs tend to engage in social networks with stakeholders primarily close to their base (Dahl and Sorenson, 2009).”
Regional influences on the prevalence of family versus non-family start-ups (2014, unknown): “…these distinctions between family and non-family businesses are observable at the regional level of analysis, highlighting the need for macro-level theories of entrepreneurship to recognize the differences between family and non-family start-ups (Aldrich and Ruef, 2006; Dahl and Sorenson, 2009).”
