The ratio of women to men startups is 0.322 (i.e., for three men startups there is one women startup) across municipalities, similar to basically all other countries we tend to compare us with.

So, where to find them? Mostly in the cantons of Basel city and Zurich but rarely in Appenzell-Innerhoden, Schaffhausen or Neuchatel. They are also more likely to be found in rural and "intermediate" areas than in cities (which offer better options in dependent employment).

At the same time, the journey was also super rewarding, we got really good comments from reviewers and editors, and I am really proud of this very elegant paper that I think is both relevant and rigorous.

It's been a very long journey. It's been so long that two new kids arrived in the meantime (not in my household). And a pandemic. And my hair turned grey, at least the bit that remained.

For instance, we were able to proxy investment in customer retention that is usually difficult to measure, via the number of game updates.

This brought a new and very amazing coauthor, Reinhold Kesler (now Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (DICE)) who pushed the empirical part to a very high level.

The model derives empirically testable hypotheses that we... do no longer test using German magazine data. We use a nowadays much more relevant market instead, online games.

The beauty of the model is that it cannot only explain phenomena observable in the real world, but it also arrives at conclusions that off-the shelf theory would not arrive at. E.g., the mapping between market value and product variety is inverted u-shaped.

Standard micro theory can't really explain this phenomenon.
Markus got back to me from Regensburg a few weeks later with a sketch of a theoretical model that featured the interplay between investing in portfolio size and investing in consumer retention.

Full disclosure: no, Franziska and I do *not* share a common family heritage. She is, however, a member of my academic family heritage - she was supervised by Christian Peukert, who was a post-doc at the chair many years ago.
