One of the most striking findings from tracking a birth cohort of firms is the extraordinary force of mortality: by age 15, 90 % of the UK firms born in 1998 are dead; and, of those that survived to age 15, the hazard of death is still about 10 % a year. The hazard rate is quite strongly size-related by age 15 firms with less than five employees are still twice as likely to die as firms with more than five employees. However, the age 15 survivors are still overwhelmingly small, because 90 % of the cohort at birth had less than five employees. Against this background we investigate the growth paths what we call the growth trajectories over 15 years of the 26,000 survivors of the 239,000 firms born into the 1998 birth cohort. Although very fe...
