Survival Rates of New Firms Created in the Recession: A Multi-Year Study This paper was written by Ron Cook, Diane Campbell, and Amber Kopp from Rider University.
Executive Director
This study examines the five year survival pat-
Dr. Don B. Bradley III
tern of new firms that were created during diffi-
Development Interns
cult economic times, and how this rate might
Daniel Champion
compare to earlier research, given the macro-
Marissa Sides
climate economic conditions and utilizing a
Raina Silva
more comprehensive measure of births. We also examined one industry sector, restaurants, and compared it to the overall survival rate of our sample. We discuss the implications of our findings in light of definitional issues in past studies, our more inclusive sample, and whether the macro-climate impact is now different given the 2008 recession.
The Small Business Advancement National has recently made immense changes to the layout of its website, SBAER.UCA.EDU, as well as its Newsletter. We welcome constructive criticism, comments, and of course, all questions throughout this transition.
