The effect of new business formation on regional development over time: the case of Germany (2006, methodology): “Due to the fact that start-up rates in subsequent years are highly correlated ( Fritsch and Mueller 2007 ), we apply Almon polynomial lags for estimating the time lag-structure of the effect of new business formation on regional development (for details, see Greene 2003 as well as van Stel and Store”
The emerging empirics of evolutionary economic geography (2011, unknown): “Klepper’s (2007) industry lifecycle study on the U.”
Regional characteristics, opportunity perception and entrepreneurial activities (2014, background): “2008; Audretsch and Fritsch 1994; Fritsch and Falck 2007; Johnson and Parker 1996), which are remarkably persistent over time (Andersson and Koster 2011; Fritsch and Mueller 2007).”
Understanding regional variation in entrepreneurial activity and entrepreneurial attitude in Europe (2011, background): “Regional variation in entry rates is often persistent ( Fritsch and Mueller 2007; Brenner and Fornahl 2008) and the same can be expected from regional differences in entrepreneurial attitudes (Beugelsdijk 2007).”
Is entrepreneurship necessarily good? Microeconomic evidence from developed and developing countries (2013, background): “Therefore, entrepreneurship is strongly characterized by sectoral and locational inertia, thus turning out as a phenomenon affected by a significant persistence (Fritsch and Mueller, 2007).”
Start-ups and Local Entrepreneurial Social Capital in the Municipalities of Sweden (2014, background): “Regional traditions, ‘culture’, social networks and path dependencies are factors that have been shown to have a long-term effect on variations in start-up rates (e.g., FRITSCH and MUELLER, 2007; FRITSCH and WYRWICH, 2014).”
Regional Social Legitimacy of Entrepreneurship: Implications for Entrepreneurial Intention and Start-up Behaviour (2014, background): “…entrepreneurship levels in the past serve as an ongoing conduit for a positive entrepreneurial climate (ANDERSON and KOSTER,2011), for instance, through increased innovation activities, knowledge spillovers, competition and firm diversity (AUDRETSCH and KEILBACH, 2004; FRITSCH and MUELLER, 2007).”
The Schumpeterian entrepreneur: a review of the empirical evidence on the antecedents, behaviour and consequences of innovative entrepreneurship (2017, unknown): “For example, Fritsch and Mueller (2007) show that the main factors explaining regional variation in business development are regional variation in innovation and an entrepreneurial climate.”
The Long Persistence of Regional Levels of Entrepreneurship: Germany, 1925–2005 (2014, methodology): “…rate and new business formation is significantly positive when this period is included, while it tends to be negative in other periods.14 Altogether, the results show the same persistency pattern of start-up activity as found by FRITSCH and MUELLER (2007) for a slightly extended period of analysis.”
Sources of persistence in regional start-up rates--evidence from Sweden (2009, background): “…1995 0.68 0.72 0.67 0.72 0.73 0.74 0.76 0.74 0.73 1.00 t¼ 1994 0.70 0.76 0.73 0.67 0.75 0.76 0.74 0.80 0.76 0.75 Mean 0.73 0.75 0.75 0.75 0.77 0.78 0.79 0.81 0.83 0.88 6 Fritsch and Mueller (2007) find that both the levels of start-up rates and changes in these levels are explained by the same…”
Entrepreneurial role models, fear of failure, and institutional approval of entrepreneurship: a tale of two regions (2016, background): “…differences in entrepreneurial activity, which has been observed in many Western market economies, such as the US (Acs and Mueller, 2008), the UK (Mueller et al., 2008), Germany (Fritsch and Mueller, 2007), the Netherlands (van Stel and Suddle, 2008) and Sweden (Andersson and Koster, 2011).”
Entrepreneurial intentions in the third age: the impact of perceived age norms (2011, background): “On the one hand, prior studies show that a higher regional start-up rate in the past serves as an ongoing conduit for higher entrepreneurial activity, for example, by increasing innovation activity, knowledge spillovers, competition and firm diversity ( Fritsch and Mueller 2007; Ritsila ¨ 1999).”
Why does the effect of new business formation differ across regions? (2011, background): “In an analysis of start-up rates of German planning regions between 1983 and 2002, Fritsch and Mueller (2007) found that the correlation coefficient of start-up rates in subsequent years assume values between 0.96 and 0.98.”
Entrepreneurship in a Regional Context: Historical Roots, Recent Developments and Future Challenges (2014, background): “…regional entrepreneurship over time The long-term persistence of regional levels and structures of self-employment and new business formation has been documented in several recent papers (FRITSCH and MUELLER, 2007; ANDERSSON and KOSTER, 2011; FOTOPOULOS, 2013; FRITSCH and WYRWICH, in this issue).”
The dynamics of entrepreneurship: hysteresis, business cycles and government policy (2011, unknown): “For example, Fritsch and Mueller (2007) explain more than one-half of the variance in German regional start-up rates in terms of regional start-up rates from 15 years earlier.”
