Variations of survival factors for French newly founded firms between 2002 and 2005

We examine key survival factors (KSF) and their evolution over the time since the start-up to the
third year of existence of the newly founded firms. Our main objective in this work is to provide
evidence to support the assumption that the key survival factors of a newly founded firm may change
over the time. That statement would help to explain why so many researches have produced so many
different results across the world and across the time.
