The exponential age distribution and the Pareto firm size distribution
Recent work drawing on data for large and small firms has shown a Pareto distribution of firm size. We mix a Gibrat-type growth process among incumbents with an exponential distribution of firm’s age, to obtain the empirical Pareto distribution. JEL codes: L20, L25
متن کاملThe Uniform-Pareto Distribution and Eeponentiated Uniform-Pareto Distribution and Their Application in Income Data
In this paper, a new distribution is introduced, which is a generalization of a well-known distribution. This distribution is flexible and applies to income data modeling. We first provide some of the mathematical and distributional properties of this new model and then, to demonstrate the flexibility the new distribution, we will present the applications of this distribution with ...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Firm Size
In this paper, we studies the distribution of firm size by using a model based on Sato’s paper in 1970, and proved the static distribution of firm size satisfies Pareto distribution in its upper tail.
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Firm Size Distribution*
The shape and evolution of firm size distribution has been studied in industrial organization and labor economics. The standard hypothesis of Gibrat’s law of proportionate effect posits that the rate of firm growth is size-independent. We test Gibrat’s law using a new empirical methodology and considering the underinvestigated Brazilian case. Quantile regression is used to estimate the evolutio...
متن کاملInvestigating the Exponential Age Distribution of Firms
While several plots of the aggregate age distribution suggest that firm age is exponentially distributed, we find some departures from the exponential benchmark. At the lower tail, we find that very young establishments are more numerous than expected, but they face high exit hazards. At the upper tail, the oldest firms are older than the exponential would have predicted. Furthermore, the age d...
