Investigating the Exponential Age Distribution of Firms (2010, background): “Furthermore, the existing literature on firm survival has often focused on tracking small samples of firms in specific industries (for example, Delacroix and Carroll (1983) on Argentinian and Irish newspapers, Barron et al.
