These papers are both about entrepreneurship generally, not what you call "high-growth entrepreneurship." I believe a lawyer's son would be more likely to start a law firm, but that implies nothing about the backgrounds of successful startup founders.
Your claim that successful founders come from rich families does not accord with my experience. Do you have any evidence for it?

I doubt rich families are more likely to succeed but people with a safety net have much more capacity to attempt risky entrepreneurial ventures

The Kauffman research doesn't agree with
@dktom at all. "immigrants in the United States tend to be more entrepreneurial than the native-born population. Available data suggest that immigrants are make up a large part of business founders and innovator" https://www.kauffman.org/microsites/state-of-the-field/topics/background-of-entrepreneurs/demographics … -
@dkthomp did not just say entrepreneurship. He mentions high growth entrepreneurship.

Would you say the premise of YC is capturing network effects from successful founders? Might that suggest coteries of wealthy people facilitate further wealth generation generally?

Who needs evidence when you’ve got a feeling from your filter bubble and a little anecdote or two nowadays right?

yes, but who bothers to meet real entrepreneurs on the ground when you can read an “economic analysis” from the comfort of your DC office with freshly brewed coffee?
