DESCRIPTION:Local Business Networks and New Firm Formation\n\nHanna Hotte
 nrott\, Professor of Innovation Economics at the Technical University of
  Munich (TUM)\, will discuss how local business networks influence new f
 irm formation\, entrepreneurial entry\, and firm performance in regional
  economies.\n\nNew business formation is a key driver of regional transf
 ormation and development. While we know that a region’s attractiveness f
 or new businesses depends on its resources\, infrastructure\, and human 
 capital\, we know little about the role of local business networks in pr
 omoting or impeding the birth of new firms. We construct local business 
 networks connecting more than 350 million nodes consisting of managers\,
  owners and firms using data on all German businesses from 2002 to 2020.
  Differentiating between firms founded by serial and de-novo entrepreneu
 rs and different network measures (average degree and transitivity of th
 e largest component)\, we show that the connectedness between actors wit
 hin a regions matters for firm entry and individual firm performance. Fi
 rst\, we show a positive but diminishing relationship between a region’s
  connectedness and firm entry by serial entrepreneurs and a negative (bu
 t diminishing) link between the presence of a dominant component and de-
 novo entry. Networks are also linked to individual firm performance with
  similar patterns for de-novo and serial entrepreneurship for entry size
  and growth. For survival\, we find different patterns depending on the 
 network type and measure of connectedness.\n\nAbout Hanna Hottenrott:\n\
