Aging firms crowd out startups in U.S. economy
Washington Post columnist notes a rise in firms 16 years and older from 23 percent in 1992 to 34 percent in 2011. Startups fell from 15 percent of firms in 1978 to 8 percent in 2011, with the 2008 crisis accelerating the decline. Experts link aging firms and weaker startup activity to slower job creation and productivity gains, while regulations and costs deter new ventures. Robert Samuelson reports on this shift and its implications for growth.
