I do wonder about selection criteria biases, it's not like both types of business were started with the same set of circumstances. I.e. if you flipped a coin on a non-cooperative and if heads made it a cooperative would it's probability of success increase or decrease.

Some of the studies do try and control for the type of business, and the effect still seems to come through. Feel free to click through the sources - that's why I provided the Wikipedia link, because I was too lazy to copy all of their sources into my comment! ;)
