Dataset Description:
This dataset contains matched firm-level data from Sweden used to examine how financial distress and family ownership interact to affect the relationship between risk-taking and performance. It was used by Luis R. Gómez-Mejia, Francesco Chirico, Geoffrey Martin, and Massimo Baù in their 2023 Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice paper. The analysis supports the mixed gamble theory, showing that family firms behave differently under distress, extracting higher or lower returns from risk depending on their financial situation.
