Review of Industrial Organization, 1993
This paper reports on the importance of firm entry and growth flows in Portuguese manufacturing during the period 1982–86, and investigates their determinants. We find that both movements are induced by past profitability and deterred by economies of scale, product differentiation and sunk costs.

Due to changes in markets, consumer preferences, environmental regulations, technological progress and so on, firms are constantly adjusting to new situations. This process very often also has a spatial dimension. Characteristics of the spatial environment of a firm may change over time, but internal changes in addition may lead to other locational ...

The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1986
Direct investment is incorporated into a simple general equilibrium model of international trade. The analysis focuses on an attempt to endogenize the internalization decision.

Journal of Financial Economics, 2010
We exploit a novel setting in which the same piece of information affects two sets of firms: one set of firms requires straightforward processing to update prices, while the other set requires more complicated analyses to incorporate the same piece of information into prices. We document substantial return predictability from the set of easy-to-analyse

Recent works on the theory of the firm have demonstrated how difficult it is to fully grasp and qualify this subject (L. Putterman, 1986; G.C. Archibald, 1987; B.R. Holsmtrom-J. Tirole, 1989). It is presented as a juxtaposition of different subjects since “obviously, no single model or theory will capture all elements of the puzzle” (B.R. Holmstrom — J.

Journal of Political Economy, 1973
The firm is viewed as a collection of particular resources, that is, resources worth more to the firm than their market value because of specialized experience within the firm. Such resources can be used either for producing output or for training new resources. This assumption is incorporated into a programming model of the firm.
