Born Globals—Is there fire behind the smoke?

Abstract: Are Born Globals really different from firms with other start-up histories? We address this question based on a unique longitudinal data set that tracks all Danish manufacturing start-ups founded between 1994 and 2008 (23,201 firms). This novel application of register data allows us to provide the first detailed account of Born Globals compared to proper control groups of other start-ups. Chiefly we investigate firm performance, which in turn permits interference on socioeconomic impact. We find that the occur… Show more

“…We now present our regression results. We first present the regression results separately for each age group, an approach used by both Choquette et al (2017) and Braunerhjelm and Halldin (2019). As a robustness check, we also employ a panel regression approach, similar to Choquette et al and show the importance of correctly removing continuing firms and spinouts.…”

“…Our work is most similar to two existing studies that include firm size in the analysis and employ large-scale firm-level longitudinal register data. Choquette et al (2017) find that Danish born globals in manufacturing have higher sales and e m p l o y m e n t c o m p ar e d to o t h er e x po r t e r s . Braunerhjelm and Halldin (2019) mainly focus on nonsize measures of firm performance, but they do include employment as a size measure and find that Swedish born globals in the manufacturing sector have higher employment levels 5 years after the establishment of a born global firm compared to other similarly aged exporting firms.…”
