Entrepreneur death and startup performance

Becker, S. O., & Hvide, H. K. (2022)

Review of Finance, 26(1), 163-185

Large, sustained negative effects on growth and profitability; about 60% lower sales in larger start-ups. Effects reflect "entrepreneur specialness rather than leadership transition".
