Abstract

In this article, we apply a proportional hazard model to analyze the determinants of success in a large sample of 1,656 entrepreneurs and former entrepreneurs. We base our research on the theory of entrepreneurship by Edward Lazear, according to which individuals with broad educational and professional experience, in comparison to specialists, are more likely to become entrepreneurs. We extend this theory by verifying whether breadth of education and professional career also contribute to the likelihood of entrepreneurial success. According to our findings, breadth of education not only influences the propensity to start a business but also positively influences the chances of business survival. The breadth of professional experience proved to have a significant impact on business survival, but this result did not hold for extensive managerial experience. JEL CLASSIFICATION: L26, J24.

是适者生存还是多面手生存?拉齐尔理论下的企业生存
在本文中,我们应用比例风险模型来分析1,656名企业家和前企业家的大样本中成功的决定因素。我们的研究基于爱德华•拉齐尔(Edward Lazear)的创业理论,根据该理论,与专家相比,拥有广泛教育和专业经验的个人更有可能成为企业家。我们通过验证教育广度和职业生涯是否也有助于创业成功的可能性来扩展这一理论。根据我们的研究,教育的广度不仅影响创业的倾向,而且对企业生存的机会也有积极的影响。专业经验的广度被证明对企业生存有显著的影响,但这一结果并不适用于丰富的管理经验。凝胶分类:26、24。
