Smaller businesses and the Christchurch earthquakes
Entry Propensity, the Supply of Entrants and the Spatial Distribution of Business Units
BEESLEY M. E. and HAMILTON R. T. (1994) Entry propensity, the supply of entrants and the spatial distribution of business units, Reg. Studies 28, 233-239. An extensive new database is used in the estimation of models explaining entry propensities across the cross-section of British manufacturing industries. Few previous studies of industrial entry have adequately incorporated the supply of prospective entrants. This is redressed here by allowing …
Unemployment and Business Formation Rates
Time-series analyses generally show rates of business formation increasing with unemployment. In cross-section studies the areas with the highest rates of formation are generally those with the lowest levels of unemployment. In a study using both types of data, the negative cross-section relationship is confirmed but it is suggested that the time-series may be nonlinear, becoming negative at a critical unemployment level around 20%. The paper con…
Births and deaths of manufacturing firms in the Scottish regions
Beesley M. E. and Hamilton R. T. (1986) Births and deaths of manufacturing firms in the Scottish regions, Reg. Studies 20, 281–288. Original data is used to investigate the determinants of regional variation in the births and deaths of independent businesses in Scottish manufacturing industries. Inter-regional differences are shown to stem mainly from intra-industry variation in fertility and mortality across the regions. These differences appear…
The Influence of Unemployment on the Level and Rate of Company Formation in Scotland, 1950-1984
In this paper annual time-series data are used to examine the relationship between unemployment and both the level and the rate of new company registrations in Scotland between 1950 and 1984. Lagged unemployment rate and changes in this rate (also lagged) are shown to explain in excess of 90% of the yearly variation in registration activity. The results indicate the importance of those factors, for example, unemployment or the threat thereof, whi…
