Title: New Firms and Post-Entry Performance: The Role of Innovation.
Abstract: This paper investigates the reasons why entry per se is not necessarily good and
the evidence showing that innovative startups survive longer than their non-innovative
counterparts. In this framework, our own empirical analysis shows that greater survival is
achieved when startups engage successfully in both product innovation and process
innovation, with a key role of the latter. Moreover, this study goes beyond a purely
microeconomic perspective and discusses the key role of the environment within which
innovative entries occur. What shown and discussed in this contribution strongly supports
the proposal that the creation and survival of innovative start-ups should become one
qualifying point of the economic policy agenda.
