摘要：We analyze the development of employment in start-up cohorts, which is the direct gross
employment effect of the new businesses. The data is for West Germany and covers the 1984-
2002 period. While total employment in the cohorts remains above the initial level in
manufacturing, we find a pronounced decline of employment below this level in the service
sector. Only a small fraction of the firms create a considerable amount of jobs. The
contribution that the start-up cohorts of the 1984 - 2002 period made to total employment in
2002 is nearly three times as high in services as in manufacturing.
