Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
Distinguish closure from ownership transfer, relocation, rebranding and temporary inactivity. The rule is Cohort survival = adjusted active original businesses ÷ original cohort businesses. Its input values are Coffee-shop businesses in starting cohort, Verified active original cohort businesses, Temporarily inactive but continuing businesses, Businesses reactivated after recorded closure, Years since cohort start, and the main result is Adjusted coffee-shop cohort survival rate. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Adjusted coffee-shop cohort survival rate.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This calculator evaluates a macroeconomics relationship while holding unmodelled conditions constant. The implemented relation is Cohort survival = adjusted active original businesses ÷ original cohort businesses, evaluated from Coffee-shop businesses in starting cohort, Verified active original cohort businesses, Temporarily inactive but continuing businesses, Businesses reactivated after recorded closure, Years since cohort start to produce Adjusted coffee-shop cohort survival rate. Distinguish closure from ownership transfer, relocation, rebranding and temporary inactivity. The result depends on comparable definitions, units, populations and time periods. It estimates a relationship; it does not establish causation or replace current primary data.
The economic question
Calculate adjusted coffee-shop cohort survival after closures, inactivity and reactivation.
Why this relationship is useful
Distinguish closure from ownership transfer, relocation, rebranding and temporary inactivity.
Inputs that must be comparable
- Coffee-shop businesses in starting cohort.
- Verified active original cohort businesses.
- Temporarily inactive but continuing businesses.
- Businesses reactivated after recorded closure.
- Years since cohort start.
Use one market, firm, population and time period throughout; mixing definitions can make a correctly calculated number economically meaningless.
The model
Cohort survival = adjusted active original businesses ÷ original cohort businesses
From inputs to output
The calculator combines Coffee-shop businesses in starting cohort, Verified active original cohort businesses, Temporarily inactive but continuing businesses, Businesses reactivated after recorded closure, Years since cohort start and reportsAdjusted coffee-shop cohort survival rate together with Adjusted surviving cohort businesses, Geometric annual retention factor. Change one assumption at a time to identify what actually drives the estimate.
How to read Adjusted coffee-shop cohort survival rate
