Direct and indirect effects of new business formation on regional employment

Pages 545-548 | Published online: 16 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

The impact of new business formation on regional employment has been investigated. The main effects occur after a considerable time lag. Obviously, a large part of the effect is not due to job creation by the newcomers but rather is of indirect nature. This implies that a large part of the debate about job creation by new business so far has been misleading.
