Positive business closure

Abstract: Business closure can be positive or negative, and negative closure has social, financial, and psychological costs that influence entrepreneurial and organizational learning. This study addresses the question of what attributes influence an entrepreneur’s likelihood of a positive or negative closure. Using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s annual Adult Population Survey, I find that women and non-U.S. entrepreneurs are more likely to have negative closures, which means they incur more costs from failure that can discourage or prevent them from trying again.
