B2a Community Capital and Small Firm Success after a Natural Disaster
Key Words
Community capital, natural disasters, small firm, business success
Short Description
Using data from the 2013 Small Business Survival and Demise after a Natural Disaster (SBSD) project, the primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between community capital and small firm success after Hurricane Katrina. Specifically, this study examined to what extent individual community capital and aggregate community capital influence small firm success after a natural disaster. The two main research questions are: 1) Did owners’ community capital affect small firm success after Hurricane Katrina? 2) Did aggregate community capital influence small firm success after Hurricane Katrina? Firm success was measured by the level of perceived success by firm owners. This study further investigated business and owner characteristics that could influence firm success.
