Sputtering Startups Weigh on U.S. Economic Growth
Decadeslong slowdown in entrepreneurship underscores transition in American labor market

The U.S. economy is inching along, productivity is flagging and millions of Americans appear locked out of the labor market.
One key factor intertwined with this loss of dynamism: The U.S. is creating startup businesses at historically low rates.
The American economy has long relied on fast-growing young companies to fuel job growth and spread the latest innovations. As recently as the 1980s and 1990s, a small number of young firms disproportionately contributed to U.S. employment growth, helping allocate workers and resources to burgeoning segments of the economy.
But government data shows a decadeslong slowdown in entrepreneurship. The share of private firms less than a year old has dropped from more than 12% during much of the 1980s to only about 8% since 2010. In 2014, the most recent year of data, the startup rate was the second-lowest on record, after 2010, according to Census Bureau figures released last month, so there’s little sign of a postrecession rebound.
ENLARGE
The share of employment at such firms, meanwhile, has slipped from nearly 4% to about 2% of private-sector jobs.
While only a few percentage points, the drop translates into hundreds of thousands of companies and jobs. If the U.S. were creating new firms at the same rate as in the 1980s, that would be the equivalent of more than 200,000 companies and 1.8 million jobs a year.
“The U.S. is still a robust economy,” said John Haltiwanger, a University of Maryland economist who has written extensively on startups. “It’s still a place that is more dynamic, more flexible, more entrepreneurial than many economies around the world. But it’s not what it used to be.”
The startup slowdown may have a number of causes. Perhaps some companies need more time than backers are willing to provide. Demographics may also explain some of the shift—baby boomers are retiring and millennials are just entering the age bracket that is most common for entrepreneurs.
Rules and regulations also could be at play. Goldman Sachs economists in part blame the cumulative effect of regulations enacted since the Great Recession for reducing the availability of credit and raising the cost of doing business for small firms, making them less competitive.
To be sure, the economy has been advancing and the labor market adding jobs for years. But the pace of this expansion has been the weakest since at least World War II, with gross domestic product growing at a 2.1% annual rate since mid-2009. GDP figures for the third quarter are due Friday and are expected to be only a little better. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal are forecasting a 2.5% pace.
Meanwhile, job creation has shifted more toward incumbent firms, a development that appears interrelated with a handful of other phenomena, including the drop-off in labor productivity, less churn in the labor market, the dominance of fewer, bigger companies and a geographical concentration of dynamic startups into fewer cities.
It’s also likely one reason the recovery from the Great Recession was so protracted—and could portend another slow comeback from the next downturn. The White House in its latest annual economic report highlighted the decline in startups since the 1980s. “Young firms that survive grow faster than older, established firms,” the report said. “Having fewer young firms thus delays recovery after recessions.”
With fewer new companies, it also becomes harder for workers to find jobs best matched to their skills and lowers overall productivity, the White House said.
Indeed, U.S. labor productivity growth has been deteriorating for more than a decade. Productivity is a key to higher living standards, allowing wage gains without spurring inflation.
There is some disagreement on whether tech firms have fallen into the same doldrums as other startups like mom-and-pop shops. Mr. Haltiwanger and colleagues at the Federal Reserve and Census Bureau find evidence they have, with significant detriment to the economy.
“It may be that we are designing things here in the U.S. as rapidly as ever,” Mr. Haltiwanger said. “We’re just not producing here. That’s not good news for U.S. productivity.”
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology delved into state business licensing information and found somewhat different but also discouraging results. That is, tech entrepreneurs are generating good ideas and founding companies at a healthy pace, but those ventures aren’t breaking out into successful big companies.
“The system for translating good, high-quality foundings into a growth firm, that system seems to have broken,” said Scott Stern, an MIT professor and co-author of the study on startups.
CB Insights tracked 1,027 tech companies that received seed funding in 2009 and 2010. By the end of 2015, nine—fewer than 1%—reached a value of at least $1 billion, a common measure of success. Those include Instagram, Uber and Slack.
At least for now, those companies appear more the exception than the rule.

Ganancias de mineras líderes peruanas crecen por recuperación de precios y mayor producción
Por Ursula Scollo
LIMA (Reuters) - Las utilidades de mineras peruanas líderes en la bolsa habrían crecido en el tercer trimestre debido a una recuperación de precios de los metales como el oro y el zinc, así como por un mayor volumen en la producción de cobre, estimaron tres corredurías.
Según analistas, las mineras que sobresalieron en su desempeño fueron la productora de metales preciosos Buenaventura y la polimetálica Volcan, que revirtieron sus pérdidas registradas en el mismo lapso del año pasado.
"Es la primera vez desde el 2012 que todos los metales, con excepción del cobre, se recuperaron respecto al mismo periodo del año anterior", dijo la correduría Intéligo en un reporte.
En el año, el precio del oro muestra un sesgo al alza ante la estabilidad de la tasa de interés en Estados Unidos. Un aumento de la tasa impulsaría el valor global del dólar y presionaría a la baja el precio del metal amarillo.
Según la correduría local Kallpa SAB, Buenaventura habría anotado una ganancia de 45,6 millones de dólares en el tercer trimestre, revirtiendo una pérdida de 23,2 millones de dólares registrada en el mismo periodo del año pasado.
Credicorp Capital, en tanto, proyectó que las ganancias de Buenaventura en el tercer trimestre llegarían a 45 millones de dólares, mientras que la correduría Intéligo SAB estimó una utilidad neta de 40,8 millones de dólares.
Por otro lado, un mejor desempeño del zinc, que acumula un alza del 43 por ciento en el año por preocupaciones sobre escasez tras cierres y suspensiones de minas, sustentaría la recuperación de la utilidad de Volcan en el tercer trimestre, cuyo papel es el más líquido en la bolsa limeña.
Kallpa proyectó que Volcan habría anotado una ganancia de 25,8 millones de dólares entre julio y septiembre frente a la pérdida de 10,9 millones de dólares del mismo lapso de 2015.
Asimismo, Credicorp estimó una utilidad de 20 millones de dólares para Volcan, mientras que Intéligo prevé un beneficio de 17,6 millones de dólares para la compañía en el tercer trimestre.
En tanto, el aumento de la ganancia de Southern Copper en el tercer trimestre se habría apoyado en un mayor aporte de producción de su mina Buenavista, una unidad ubicada en México, lo que habría compensado la caída del precio del cobre, coincidieron las tres corredurías.
Intéligo estimó que Southern Copper habría ganado 239,3 millones de dólares en el tercer trimestre, mientras que Kallpa proyectó una utilidad de 229,2 millones de dólares. La firma ganó 99,4 millones de dólares en el mismo intervalo del año pasado.
Perú es el tercer mayor productor mundial de cobre, plata y zinc, y el sexto de oro.

Precios de casas en EEUU suben 5,1 pct interanual en agosto; confianza del consumidor cae en octubre
NUEVA YORK (Reuters) - Los precios de las viviendas en Estados Unidos subieron un 5,1 por ciento interanual en agosto debido a que los compradores compitieron por menos propiedades en un ambiente de tasas hipotecarias bajas, cierto aumento de los salarios y un bajo nivel de desempleo.
El informe de S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller publicado el martes mostró que el índice de 20 ciudades subió un 5,1 por ciento tras avanzar un 5,0 por ciento en el año hasta julio. El índice nacional ahora casi se ha recuperado a un máximo histórico que tocó en julio de 2006 antes de la crisis financiera de 2008.
"Las 20 ciudades vieron precios más altos que hace un año y 10 lograron avances anuales mayores que el mes pasado", comentó David Blitzer, director gerente y presidente del comité de índices en S&P Dow Jones Indices.
La aceleración en la inflación de los precios de las casas tiene lugar tras otras señales de que la recuperación del mercado de la vivienda está cobrando impulso.
Las ventas de casas usadas en Estados Unidos aumentaron un 3,2 por ciento en septiembre frente a agosto, pero el número de viviendas a la venta ha caído casi un 7,0 por ciento frente al mismo período del año pasado, dijo la Asociación Nacional de Agentes Inmobiliarios (NAR, por su sigla en inglés) la semana pasada.
En septiembre había sólo 2,04 millones de viviendas usadas a la venta.
"La demanda es alta y el entusiasmo por tener una propiedad se mantiene fuerte, especialmente entre jóvenes, minorías y compradores primerizos", comentó Svenja Gudell, economista jefe del proveedor de datos inmobiliarios Billow.
Tras ajustes por estacionalidad, el índice nacional de Case-Shiller subió un 0,6 por ciento mensual en agosto, mientras los índices de 10 y 20 ciudades aumentaron un 0,2 por ciento.
Tras la crisis financiera de 2008, los precios se desplomaron un 35 por ciento desde su máximo de julio de 2006 hasta que tocaron fondo en marzo de 2012. Desde entonces han subido a sólo un 7,2 por ciento por debajo del máximo.
En tanto, la confianza del consumidor sobre las condiciones actuales y el panorama para seis meses bajaron en octubre y el índice de confianza del consumidor del grupo privado estadounidense Conference Board bajó a 98,6 en octubre desde 103,5 en septiembre.
Economistas consultados en un sondeo de Reuters proyectaban que el índice alcanzara 101,5 en octubre.
"La evaluación de los consumidores de condiciones actuales de negocios y del empleo bajó, mientras que el optimismo sobre el panorama a corto plazo retrocedió algo. Sin embargo, las expectativas de los consumidores sobre sus perspectivas de ingresos en los próximos meses se mantuvieron relativamente sin cambios", afirmó Lynn Franc, directora de indicadores económicos en Conference Board.

La aceleración en la inflación de los precios de las casas tiene lugar tras otras señales de que la recuperación del mercado de la vivienda está cobrando impulso.
Las ventas de casas usadas en Estados Unidos aumentaron un 3,2 por ciento en septiembre frente a agosto, pero el número de viviendas a la venta ha caído casi un 7,0 por ciento frente al mismo período del año pasado, dijo la Asociación Nacional de Agentes Inmobiliarios (NAR, por su sigla en inglés) la semana pasada.
En septiembre había sólo 2,04 millones de viviendas usadas a la venta.
"La demanda es alta y el entusiasmo por tener una propiedad se mantiene fuerte, especialmente entre jóvenes, minorías y compradores primerizos", comentó Svenja Gudell, economista jefe del proveedor de datos inmobiliarios Billow.
Tras ajustes por estacionalidad, el índice nacional de Case-Shiller subió un 0,6 por ciento mensual en agosto, mientras los índices de 10 y 20 ciudades aumentaron un 0,2 por ciento.
Tras la crisis financiera de 2008, los precios se desplomaron un 35 por ciento desde su máximo de julio de 2006 hasta que tocaron fondo en marzo de 2012. Desde entonces han subido a sólo un 7,2 por ciento por debajo del máximo.
En tanto, la confianza del consumidor sobre las condiciones actuales y el panorama para seis meses bajaron en octubre y el índice de confianza del consumidor del grupo privado estadounidense Conference Board bajó a 98,6 en octubre desde 103,5 en septiembre.
Economistas consultados en un sondeo de Reuters proyectaban que el índice alcanzara 101,5 en octubre.
"La evaluación de los consumidores de condiciones actuales de negocios y del empleo bajó, mientras que el optimismo sobre el panorama a corto plazo retrocedió algo. Sin embargo, las expectativas de los consumidores sobre sus perspectivas de ingresos en los próximos meses se mantuvieron relativamente sin cambios", afirmó Lynn Franc, directora de indicadores económicos en Conference Board.

BCE es consciente de que tasas ultra bajas tienen un costo cada vez mayor: Draghi
BERLÍN (Reuters) - El Banco Central Europeo es consciente de los crecientes costos que el sector financiero afronta por las políticas monetarias ultra expansivas y preferiría no tener tasas de interés negativas por demasiado tiempo, dijo el martes el presidente del BCE, Mario Draghi.
En declaraciones en Berlín, Draghi defendió las agresivas compras de bonos y tasas ultra bajas del BCE de quienes afirman que la política genera una creciente inequidad y ha ocasionado un cambio en los ingresos que percibe el sector financiero.
Draghi también respondió a las quejas de los bancos, especialmente en Alemania, de que han visto afectadas sus utilidades debido a las tasas de interés bajas.
"Ciertamente preferiríamos no tener tasas de interés en estos niveles tan bajos por un tiempo excesivo, en vista de que los efectos indeseados podrían acumularse con el tiempo", dijo Draghi en un evento en Berlín.
El BCE está estudiando alternativas para que su programa de compras de activos de 80.000 millones de euros (87.060 millones de dólares) al mes pueda extenderse al menos hasta marzo, ya que los activos elegibles que puede adquirir en Alemania están escaseando.
Los comentarios de Draghi posiblemente reducirán las apuestas del mercado en torno a otro recorte de la tasa de depósitos bancarios del BCE, actualmente en -0,40 por ciento, lo que en la práctica implica cobrar a los bancos por el dinero que dejan en el banco central.
También abordan la crítica más común de los funcionarios alemanes respecto a que las tasas de interés bajas del BCE están perjudicando a los pequeños ahorristas.
"Ciertamente, algunos ahorristas podrían sufrir por un periodo temporal de tasas de interés bajas, especialmente si dependen de los intereses y no pueden aumentar su consumo a través del crédito", detalló.
"Pero sin importar el activo financiero que tengan los ahorristas, en el análisis final su retorno siempre depende de la tasa de crecimiento de la economía", afirmó Draghi.

EXCLUSIVA-Barrick conversa con empresas chinas venta de participación en mina argentina Veladero
Por John Tilak y Nicole Mordant
TORONTO/VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Las mineras chinas Zijin Mining Group Co Ltd y Shandong Gold Mining Co Ltd han conversado separadamente con Barrick Gold Corp para comprar un 50 por ciento de participación en el yacimiento de oro Veladero en Argentina, según cuatro fuentes con conocimiento del asunto.
Veladero es una de las cinco principales minas de Barrick, que están todas en América. Se espera que este año produzca entre 580.000 y 640.000 onzas de oro.
La alta calidad de la mina, su capacidad de producción y las perspectivas para diversificación geográfica son atractivas para los posibles compradores chinos, dijeron tres fuentes, que pidieron no revelar sus nombres porque el asunto es privado. Todas las personas hablaron la semana pasada.
Barrick, la mayor minera del mundo, no ha iniciado un proceso formal de venta de Veladero y no hay garantías de que las conversaciones produzcan un resultado, dijeron las fuentes.
La posible venta de un 50 por ciento de participación podría significar para Barrick más de 1.000 millones de dólares, dijeron las fuentes.
Barrick, Shandong y Zijin no quisieron hacer comentarios.
El mes pasado, las operaciones en Veladero fueron detenidas por más de dos semanas luego de un derrame de cianuro en la mina, que está a más de 4.000 metros de altura.
Barrick querría que el comprador de Veladero también invierta en su proyecto Pascua-Lama en América del sur, dijeron dos fuentes.
El proyecto de oro y plata, que se ubica en la cordillera de los Andes, en la zona limítrofe entre Argentina y Chile, fue suspendido en el 2013 por problemas ambientales, oposición política, conflictos laborales y costos que se dispararon a unos 8.500 millones de dólares.

Apple Profit and Revenue Slide as it Copes With Slumping iPhone Sales
By ROBERT MCMILLAN
Updated Oct. 25, 2016 4:47 p.m. ET
11 COMMENTS
Apple Inc. posted its third consecutive decline in quarterly revenue and profit Tuesday, as the company searches for a way to offset falling sales of its flagship iPhone.
The results also marked Apple’s first decline in annual revenue and profit since 2001.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, ended Sept. 24, Apple said net income fell 19% to $9 billion, or $1.67 a share, from $11.1 billion, or $1.96 a share, in the same period a year earlier. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected earnings of $1.65 per share.

Revenue fell 9%, to $46.9 billion, mostly ahead of the launch of the iPhone 7, which went on sale a week before the end of the quarter.
Still, Apple remains the most profitable U.S. company, with net income of $45.7 billion for the fiscal year it just ended.
Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, said improvements in the company’s services business and the introduction of its flagship iPhone in particular were improving the company’s outlook for the coming quarter.
“The customer response has really been off the charts,” he said “We couldn’t be more happy with how it’s been received.”
Apple issued a bullish forecast for the current quarter, which includes both the holiday-shopping season and sales of its new phone. The company said it expects revenue of $76 billion to $78 billion in the quarter, which would be an increase from $75.9 billion in the same period a year earlier. Before Apple’s announcement, analysts had been expecting revenue in the current quarter of $74.9 billion, according to FactSet.
Apple also projected gross margin, a closely watched measure of profitability, of 38% to 38.5%, even to slightly up from 38% in the just-completed quarter.
Neil Cybart, an independent analyst who follows Apple, said the revenue projection for the current quarter implies that Apple expects iPhone unit sales to increase more than 5% from a year earlier, when the iPhone 6S was its newest model.
The iPhone accounted for 63% of Apple’s revenue in the just-completed fiscal year, but growth in the smartphone market has slowed recently and consumer buying habits are changing. In the fourth quarter, Apple said it sold 45.5 million iPhones, 2.5 million fewer than a year earlier.
The company reported holding $237.6 billion in cash and investments, up from $231.5 billion three months earlier.
Apple is running out of large untapped markets where it could reproduce its breakneck success in China in recent years. Sales in greater China, which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan, declined 30% to $8.8 billion in the most-recent quarter. In the same quarter a year earlier, Apple sales to the region grew 99%.
UBS Securities LLC says 80% to 90% of China’s potential high-end smartphone buyers already have a phone.
Mr. Cook hopes India, where iPhone sales grew by more than 50% during the most recent year, will prove to be another giant market.
“We still believe we’re just kind of scratching the surface there,” he said. Apple includes India in its Asia Pacific region, which reported $2.7 billion in sales, roughly even with a year earlier.
Apple’s shares fell 1.5% in after-hours trading following the release. Apple shares are down 0.7% over the past 12 months through Tuesday’s close, but have risen more than 20% since its last financial results were reported in July, as expectations rose for sales of the new iPhone and rival Samsung Electronics Co. recalled its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones following reports of battery fires.
Sales of the company’s Macintosh computers declined 17% to $5.7 billion. Apple is expected to update the Mac line on Thursday.

Apple shares are down 0.7% over the past 12 months through Tuesday’s close, but have risen more than 20% since its last financial results were reported in July, as expectations rose for sales of the new iPhone and rival Samsung Electronics Co. recalled its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones following reports of battery fires.
Sales of the company’s Macintosh computers declined 17% to $5.7 billion. Apple is expected to update the Mac line on Thursday.
