Relevance of different financing source (internal funds, grants and equity) increase the probability in 3.1p.p., 4.3 p.p. and 2.7 p.p., respectively. Firm size [SME vs non-sme] decrease the probability in 12.5 p.p. Firm age [old firm ( 10 years) vs less 10 years] decrease the probability in 4.5 p.p.
