Labor force diversity and firm survival
利用瑞典企业2002-2013年微观数据，分析企业内部和所在地区的多样性对企业生存的影响，发现教育、年龄和性别多样性促进生存，而出生地多样性则相反，但地区文化多样性有利。
Abstract We analyze the influence that the diversity of individuals, both within a firm and in the region where the firm is located, has on firm survival. We estimate a hazard model using microdata for Swedish firms for the years 2002–2013. Results show that firm‐specific diversity in education, age, and gender are positively associated with firm survival. However, firm‐specific diversity by place of origin is negatively associated with firm survival. Yet the cultural diversity among the inhabitants in the region where the firm is located enhances firm survival. Magnitudes of the effects vary by region and industrial sector.
