Abstract
Link and Wright (2015) and Andersen, Bray, and Link (2017), building on the earlier pioneering work of a number of scholars—including Mansfield and Wagner (1975), Rubenstein, Chakrabarti, O’Keffe, Souder, and Young (1976), Pinto and Mantel (1990), Calantone, Anthony Benedetto, and Divine (1993), Kumar, Persud, and Kumar (1996), van der Panne, van Beers, and Kleinknecht (2003), Shepherd and Wiklund (2006), Nixon, Harrington, and Parker (2012), and Wilson, Wright, and Altanlar (2013)—proffered a number of hypotheses related to covariates with the likelihood of a research project failing or succeeding. None of these hypotheses, which are listed below, relates ownership race or ownership gender to the likelihood of a research project being a failure or a success. Still, these hypothesis signal independent variables that might be explored in an empirical model of the likelihood of a research project being discontinued.
