Business experience and start-up size: buying more lottery tickets next time around?
This paper explores the determinants of start-up size by focusing on a cohort of 6247 businesses that started trading in 2004, using a unique dataset on customer records at Barclays Bank. Quantile regressions show that prior business experience is significantly related with start-up size, as are a number of other variables such as age, education and bank account activity. Quantile treatment effects (QTE) estimates show similar results, with the effect of business experience on (log) start-up size being roughly constant across the quantiles. Prior personal business experience leads to an increase in expected start-up size of about 50%. Instrumental variable QTE estimates are even higher, although there are concerns about the validity of the instrument

Telephone follow-up of patients after radical prostatectomy : a systematic review
Objective: to assess and summarize the best scientific evidence from randomized controlled clinical
trials about telephone follow-up of patients after radical prostatectomy, based on information
about how the phone calls are made and the clinical and psychological effects for the individuals
who received this intervention. Method: the search was undertaken in the electronic databases
Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Cinahl, Lilacs and Cochrane. Among the 368 references found,
five were selected. Results: two studies tested interventions focused on psychological support
and three tested interventions focused on the physical effects of treatment. The psychoeducative
intervention to manage the uncertainty about the disease and the treatment revealed statistically
significant evidences and reduced the level of uncertainty and anguish it causes. Conclusion: the
beneficial effects of telephone follow-up could be determined, as a useful tool for the monitoring
of post-prostatectomy patients.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)
