Abstract: Abstract Much is expected from newly founded firms. They should advance structural economic change, create new jobs, and promote innovations. However, it was often shown that many of the newly founded firms do not survive long. To track cohorts of newly founded firms over time is an important way for assessing the long run effects of new businesses. Because these long run effects may differ considerably over time as well as across industries and regions, these dimensions should be taken into account in such an analysis.
