Financing Constraints, Firm Dynamics, Export Decisions, and Aggregate Productivity
We present a dynamic model in which firms accumulate wealth to avoid bankruptcy and to overcome financing constraints that affect their fixed operational costs and the costs of becoming an exporter. Financing constraints not only affect firms directly when they are binding, but also indirectly, through precautionary saving and the selection of firms via entry and exit of the domestic and export...
متن کاملFinancial Constraints and Firm Dynamics
The short run effects of financial constraints (FCs) on the expected growth rate of firms and their long-term implications on the evolution of the firm size distribution have been recently investigated by several scholars. In this paper we extend the analysis to a wider and largely unexplored range of possible FCs effects, including the autoregressive and heteroskedastic structure of the firm g...
متن کاملBanking Deregulations, Financing Constraints and Firm Entry Size
We examine the e¤ect of US branch banking deregulations on the entry size of new rms using micro-data from the US Census Bureau. We nd that the average entry size for startups did not change following the deregulations. However, among rms that survived at least four years, a greater proportion of rms entered either at their maximum size or closer to the maximum size in the rst year. The ma...
متن کاملModeling Firm Dynamics to Identify the Cost of Financing Constraints in Ghanaian Manufacturing
Economic development requires the growth of productive rms. However, nancing constraints may limit rmsinvestment abilities. This paper estimates the cost of nancing constraints to rms, for example in terms of idle investment opportunities, and their aggregate implications. To this end, I develop and estimate a dynamic model of rm-level investment. The model allows me to deal with the mai...
متن کاملTesting Financing Constraints on Firm Investment using Variable Capital
A recent literature has criticised the sensitivity of a firm’s investment to its own cash flow as an adequate measure of financing constraints. In this paper we develop a new method to detect the presence of financing constraints at firm level. We consider a structural dynamic model of investment with financing imperfections and with both fixed and variable capital. We solve the model and simul...
