Relevant characteristics include the age of the firms, their number of employees, and characteristics of their founders.

Fußnoten
1
The number of UK firms in the textile industry is greater than the number of Portuguese textile firms. When we do signal out characteristics of UK firms, we do so only for textile firms because the number of UK apparel firms is small in comparison to those in Italy and Portugal.
 
2
The mean percentages in the were calculated as [part ‐ time employees/(full ‐ time employees + part ‐ time employees)].
 
3
Although beyond the scope of the AEGIS data, a study of changes in the percent of part-time employees over time is certainly warranted.
 
4
As a robustness check on the implications of this simplifying assumption, we also calculated the average age of all founders within each firm. Those results are virtually indistinguishable from the descriptive information in Table 5.10.
 
5
This conclusion holds even when the average of the age or education of all of the founders in firms is used rather than the age or education of the first-listed founder.
