Abstract

We examine the physical health consequences to entrepreneurs of firm growth and decline. Using register-based panel data (2000–2021), we find that entrepreneurs and hired CEOs are, on average, healthier and live longer than individuals from a socio-economically similar random sample from the general population. However, our findings also reveal that entrepreneurs are more likely to fall ill during their tenure and die younger than hired CEOs. Importantly, our findings demonstrate that both cumulative exposure to growth and episodic, rapid declines in sales and in the number of employees are equally taxing for entrepreneurs and hired CEOs.

敲响天堂之门？创业、公司成长与健康风险

我们研究了企业成长和衰退对企业家身体健康的影响。通过使用基于登记的面板数据（2000-2021 年），我们发现，与社会经济状况相似的普通人群随机抽样相比，创业者和受聘首席执行官平均更健康、更长寿。不过，我们的研究结果也显示，与受聘的首席执行官相比，创业者更有可能在任期内生病，也更容易英年早逝。重要的是，我们的研究结果表明，对创业者和受聘首席执行官来说，无论是累积性的增长还是销售额和员工人数的偶发性快速下降，都会造成同样的负担。
