R&D Subsidies and Firm-Level Productivity: Evidence from France
This paper investigates a theoretical and empirical model to provide a new insight into the relationship between R&D subsidies and firmlevel productivity. The empirical analysis evaluates the productivity of firms involved in a European programme of public R&D subsidies called Eureka.

Empirical studies have shown that the size distribution of firms can be described as a lognormal or Pareto distribution.

Using the variable of number of employees as a measure of firm size, this paper investigates the shape of firm size distribution in the food & beverages i...

متن کاملFirm-Level Distortions, Trade, and International Productivity Differences
Developing countries typically exhibit small firm size, high dispersion of firm-level productivity, and low trade-to-output ratios. They also tend to export particularly less to more distant and smaller markets. To rationalize these facts, this paper develops a flexible, multi-country general equilibrium model of production and trade in which heterogeneous producers face both domestic size-depe...
متن کاملFirm-Level Distortions, Trade, and International Productivity Differences
Developing countries typically exhibit small firm size, high dispersion of marginal productivity of factors across firms, and low trade-to-output ratios. They also tend to export particularly less to more distant and smaller markets. To rationalize these facts, this paper develops a flexible, multi-country general equilibrium model of production and trade in which heterogeneous producers face b...
