The Life Duration of Small Firms Born Within a Start-up Programme: Evidence from Italy

Abstract: DEL MONTE A. and SCALERA D. (2001) The life duration of small firms born within a start‐up programme: evidence from italy, Reg Studies 35, 11–21. We argue in this paper that the success of a subsidy programme should not be evaluated by comparing the survival rates of subsidized and non subsidized firms, since the purpose of subsidies is to offset a gap with firms that do not need subsidies. Secondly, we seek to identify the main factors aVecting the death probability of small firms born within a start-up progr… Show more

“…Pellegrini and Muccigrosso (2017) show that Italian regional policy (Law 488/1992) in the form of a capital subsidy had a positive effect on the survival of start-ups during the 1996-2009 period. Del Monte and Scalera (2001) examine the effect of Law 44 in Italy during the 1988-1997 period and find a negative relationship between the amount of capital invested and firms' life duration, while the capital/labor ratio and the amount of subsidy are positively related. Based on the previous findings, we hypothesize:…”

“…They show that previous results favourable to the programme overstated its effectiveness. The same programme was evaluated by Del Monte and Scalera (2001), who showed that the start-up programme alters the distribution of the firms' life duration, probably because larger subsidies enable stronger shocks to be counteracted. Crépon and Duguet (2003) evaluate the impact of bank loans and start-up subsidies on the survival of new firms.…”

“…Overall, the support for new ventures and its impact on economic and social processes and structures is a popular theme analysed on national and regional levels (e.g. Strickland and Burr 1995;Del Monte and Scalera 2001;Audretsch, J. Weigand, and C. Weigand et al 2002;Hukkinen et al 2006;Servon 2006;Rogerson 2007). Not surprisingly, such papers are often based on available programme statistics.…”
