Abstract: Innovationplays a vital role in corporate issues since it brings potentially appreciableprofits and shores up their statuses in certain fields, although it may alsoharness firms, especially smaller ones, with high survival risks. This concernbrings forth our research topic: could innovation diminish firms’ risk offailure? Our paper concentrates on hi-tech start-ups and complements existingfirm dynamic studies by adopting a comprehensive annual survey dataset from ascience park located in Beijing. Using a novel discrete-time proportionalhazards model, and thanks to extensive data available, we can take a deeperinvestigation into this topic. Our research complies with most of the previousstudies that show that the benefit from innovativeness outweighs the cost andwe solidify our conclusions by considering a few distinctive features existingin China’s economy.
