Firm size distributions [PDF]

open access: possibleInternational Journal of Industrial Organization, 2005
The static firm size distributions that we observe in practice are the cumulated result of underlying firm dynamics involving entry of new firms and growth, decline, and exits of incumbent firms. This paper gives an overview of firm size distributions that result as steady states from models differing in the way these firm dynamics are modelled. In the

Firm growth and firm size

Applied Economics Letters, 2010
This article analyses the growth rates of the complete population of UK-registered firms for the period 2001 to 2005. We estimate Gibrat's law – that growth rates are independent of firm size – by deciles of the firm size distribution. Whether we are able to reject Gibrat's law varies across deciles.

Acta Sociologica, 1998
The thesis of the paper is that the hierarchical structure of organizations contributes to the explanation of the well-known firm size-wage effect. A theoretical analysis elaborates why and how wages may depend on hierarchical position and span of control.

Les grandes entreprises se caractérisent par i) des heures travaillées plus longues, ii) des salaires plus élevés et iii) des désavantages salariaux moins (plus) importants pour les heures de travail plus longues (courtes).

Growth and Size of Firms

The Economic Journal, 1996
We use a dataset of 87,000 independent UK companies to investigate the relationship between firm size and growth. For the sample as a whole, a Galton-Markov model of regression towards the mean shows that growth is negatively related to initial size. However, when the sample is broken down by size group, we find that regression towards the mean only ...

Regulation, entrepreneurship, and firm size

Journal of Regulatory Economics, 2018
We investigate whether regulatory growth disproportionately burdens small businesses relative to large businesses. Using panel data from RegData 3.0 and exploiting variation across industries over time, we empirically estimate the relationship between regulatory growth and growth in the number of small and large firms. Controlling for other factors, we

T HE measurement of firm size plays a crucial role in applied microeconomics and industrial organization. Firm size has figured prominently in numerous studies of economies of scale in production, advertising, capital market, and cash balances, and in studies of concentration, diversification, profitability, regulation, technological change, and ...

Do firms’ growth rates depend on firm size?

Small Business Economics, 2011
The empirical literature dealing with corporate growth does not in general give support to Gibrat’s Law stating that the expected increase in firm size is proportionate to its initial size, leaving their growth rates independent of size. Using a relatively large and representative sample of approximately 2,500 Danish firms representing all industries ...

Indicators of innovation output used are the number of new products introduced as a function of firm sales and the proportion of firm sales obtained from products first introduced in ...
