论文摘要
许多研究从经验上分析了创新创业公司生存的决定因素，使用有关企业家和管理特征的数据，或者专注于公司和特定于行业的变量。但是，到目前为止，尚未尝试评估生产过程环境可持续性的作用。根据描述2009 - 2018年意大利创新创业公司特征的数据，本文研究了绿色和非绿色公司之间生存的差异。我们表明，在控制其他混杂因素的同时，以绿色生产过程为特征的初创公司往往比其同行生存更长。特别是，我们估计一家绿色创新创业的生存的可能性是非绿色创业的两倍以上。该证据可能支持环境可持续性可以帮助经济发展的观念。
Many studies have analyzed empirically the determinants of survival for innovative startup companies using data about the characteristics of entrepreneurs and management or focusing on firm- and industry-specific variables. However, no attempts have been made so far to assess the role of the environmental sustainability of the production process. Based on data describing the characteristics of the Italian innovative startups in the period 2009-2018, this article studies the differences in survival between green and non-green companies. We show that, while controlling for other confounding factors, startups characterized by a green production process tend to survive longer than their counterparts. In particular, we estimate that a green innovative startup is more than twice as likely to survive than a non-green one. This evidence may support the idea that environment sustainability can help economic development.
