This paper examines the survival characteristics of firms, using microdata from the Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program (LEAP) of Statistics Canada. Entry rates and survival functions for the 2002 cohort are analyzed. The business sector is disaggregated along industry and size dimensions. The results indicate that groups with higher entry rates have lower survival probabilities. There is a statistically significant difference in the survival curves for most units from the remainder of the population; however, the magnitude of the difference is small.
