Firm Size , Earnings , and Displacement Risk
Analogous to the well-documented firm size-wage differential there also exists a differential in layoff risk according to firm size. Using Austrian data I discuss several reasons for this puzzle, including on-the-job training and workers' heterogeneity. If less stable (and also less able) workers select themselves into small, unstable and low paying firms, predicted layoff risk of workers can b...
متن کاملFirm size and human capital as determinants of productivity and earnings
The evidence that earnings rise with firm size and that human capital affects earnings based on labour market data are two of the most robust empirical findings in economics. In contrast the evidence for scale economies in firm data is very weak. The limited direct evidence of human capital on firm productivity suggests that human capital is indeed productive and that the magnitudes are consist...
متن کاملCapital Structure and Firm Performance:
Corporate governance theory predicts that leverage affects agency costs and thereby influences firm performance. We propose a new approach to test this theory using profit efficiency, or how close a firm’s profits are to the benchmark of a best-practice firm facing the same exogenous conditions. We are also the first to employ a simultaneous-equations model that accounts for reverse causality f...
متن کاملMenu costs , firm size and price rigidity
If menu costs have a non-negligible lump-sum component and with larger firms having greater benefits from price adjustments, then larger firms will change price more frequently than smaller firms. Data from New Zealand firms support this hypothesis. Price duration decreases as firm size increases. Ordered probit analysis indicates the effect comes primarily from larger firms being more likely t...
متن کاملPost - Earnings Announcement Drift ?
The predictability of abnormal returns based on information contained in past earnings announcements is a statistically and economically significant anomaly. Neither is it illusory, nor is it an artefact of the experimental design. It may be a result of market inefficiency. Our results cannot rule out this explanation. However, we find that the magnitude of the post-earnings announcement effect...
