报告摘要：

Ever since scholars recognized that family firms are heterogeneous, many have attempted to compare different types of family firms without an explicit nonfamily reference group. This is problematic when the source of heterogeneity among family firms resembles the source of heterogeneity among nonfamily firms. The resulting counterfactual indeterminacy bias can lead to misleading or irrelevant findings that fail to distinguish the effects of family influence from factors that affect all firms. In this paper, we delineate common forms of this bias and offer recommendations to prevent it in research on family firm behavior and performance.
