Abstract
[Abstract]: Previous research on the firm growth of the university spin-offs (USOs) and its
drivers yields inconclusive results. Recently, the literature on the high-growth firms
(HGFs) has relied on regression quantile methods to study how the effects of growth
determinants may differ along the firm growth distribution. This study builds a bridge
between the two strands of literature by exploring how firm-specific characteristics
may shape sales and employment growth patterns of USOs. To this end, it applies
panel data quantile regression models in a sample of 531 Spanish USOs over the
period of 2001–2013. The results show that the growth drivers not only differ
between employment growth and sales growth but also along the growth
distributions.
