Firm Heterogeneity and Worker Turnover
Previous empirical analyses of job mobility focus on worker rather than firm characteristics. This paper exploits a unique data set on enterprise employment. We describe sectoral differences in turnover rates and in the persistence of turnover. We also present evidence of persistent turnover differences at the level of the individual firms--a result that is expected if firms have managers with ...
متن کاملSlow Convergence in Economies with Firm Heterogeneity ∗
This paper presents a simple formula that relates the tail index of the firm size distribution to the aggregate speed with which an economy converges to its balanced growth path. The fact that there are so many firms in the right tail implies that aggregate shocks that permanently destroy employment among incumbent firms, rather than cause these firms to scale back temporarily, are followed by ...
متن کاملFirm Heterogeneity, International Cooperations and Export Participation Firm Heterogeneity, International Cooperations and Export Participation
The paper investigates the relationship between firms’ international cooperation strategies and export decision. It proposes a refinement of Melitz (2003) model of firm heterogeneity and trade according to which prospective exporters must engage in a cooperation agreement with a foreign partner in order to favour their market access and distribution activities overseas. The paper analyses the e...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of Firm Performance 1 Industry Learning Environments and the Heterogeneity of Firm Performance
This paper characterizes inter-industry heterogeneity in rates of learning-by-doing, and examines how industry learning rates are connected with firm performance. Using plant-level data from the US manufacturing sector, we measure the industry learning rate as the coefficient on cumulative output in a production function. We find that learning rates vary considerably among industries and are hi...
متن کاملPrice Variation Antagonism and Firm Pricing Policies
Pricing schemes that vary prices in response to demand shocks may antagonize consumers and reduce demand. At the same time, consumers may take advantage of the opportunities offered by price changes. Overall, the net impact of varying price on demand is ambiguous. We investigate the issue empirically, exploiting a unique dataset from a firm that has experimented with different pricing schemes. ...
