The Variance of Firm Growth Rates: the 'scaling' Puzzle
Certain recently reported statistical regularities relating to the dispersion of firms' growth rates have begun to attract attention among IO economists. These relationships take the form of power law or scaling relationships and this has led to suggestions that the underlying mechanisms which drive these relationships may have some interesting analogies with the mechanisms which drive scaling ...
متن کاملThe size variance relationship of business firm growth rates.
The relationship between the size and the variance of firm growth rates is known to follow an approximate power-law behavior sigma(S) approximately S(-beta(S)) where S is the firm size and beta(S) approximately 0.2 is an exponent that weakly depends on S. Here, we show how a model of proportional growth, which treats firms as classes composed of various numbers of units of variable size, can ex...
متن کاملExtreme Fluctuations in U.S. Firm Growth Rates
We describe several important features of annual firm growth rate dynamics. Specifically, we report three major findings, some of which were previously known for certain subsets of U.S. firms and are here shown to obtain for the entire universe of U.S. business firms, and others that are apparently novel. First, the distribution of log growth rates overall are well-characterized by the so-calle...
متن کاملOn the Laplace Distribution of Firm Growth Rates
Recent empirical analyses on different datasets have revealed a common exponential behaviour in the shape of the probability density of the corporate growth rates. We briefly review these analyses and present new evidence on this topic based on corporate data from Italian Manufacturing Industry. We then propose a very simple model that, under rather general assumptions, provides a robust explan...
متن کاملFinancial fragility and the distribution of firm growth rates
Analyzing a comprehensive database of limited liability manufacturing firms this paper investigates the relation between a firm’s financial situation and its conditional expected growth rate. Specifically, using quantile regressions, we obtain a quantitative characterization of this relation for different quantiles of the growth rates distribution. We find that simple location-shift models, as ...
