Firm growth and productivity growth: evidence from a panel VAR
This paper offers new insights into the processes of firm growth by applying a reduced-form vector autoregression (VAR) model to longitudinal panel data on French manufacturing firms. We observe the co-evolution of key variables such as growth of employment, sales, and gross operating surplus, as well as growth of multifactor productivity. It seems that employment growth is negatively associate...

Our further explorati...
