This paper examines the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (measured by total cases and deaths per 100K people) on the early-stage entrepreneurship activity (measured by the Kauffman Early-Stage Entrepreneurship indicators) in the United States. The empirical analyses are based on the panel dataset of 51 States between 2020 and 2021. The findings show that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affects early-stage entrepreneurship activity. Further analyses indicate the positive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the startup's early survival rate. However, new entrepreneurs' rate and opportunity share are negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Implications for the post-COVID-19 era are also discussed.
本文考察了 COVID-19 大流行(以每 10 万人中的总病例和死亡人数来衡量)对美国早期创业活动(以考夫曼早期创业指标来衡量)的影响。实证分析基于 2020 年至 2021 年间 51 个州的面板数据集。研究结果表明,COVID-19 大流行对早期创业活动产生负面影响。进一步的分析表明,COVID-19 大流行对创业公司的早期生存率有积极影响。然而,新企业家的比率和机会份额受到 COVID-19 大流行的负面影响。本文还讨论了后 COVID-19 时代的影响。
