However, since 2000, Kauffman found indicators of a slowdown in entrepreneurship in the high-tech sector and publicly traded firms have exhibited a decline in dynamism.

===Defining terms===The overwhelmingly large presence of millennials has contributed to the decline in business dynamism particularly in high -tech: You know it when you see it - it's Apple's iPhone 6S, Amazon Prime's 1 hour product delivery, it's sectors because these members do not have the means or desire to finance a minute computer chip small business given that they are often saddled with blinking lights and beeping buttonsdebt from college.

Business dynamism: While student debt is used to fund increases in human capital (education), the dynamic process utilization of student debt reduces an individual's ability to access other forms of firms entering and exiting credit. As a result, the economystudy's findings suggest a debt trade-off in which larger amounts of student debt lower an individual's ability to start a new business.
