چکیده

We examine the e¤ect of US branch banking deregulations on the entry size of new …rms using micro-data from the US Census Bureau. We …nd that the average entry size for startups did not change following the deregulations. However, among …rms that survived at least four years, a greater proportion of …rms entered either at their maximum size or closer to the maximum size in the …rst year. The magnitude of these e¤ects were small compared to the much larger changes in entry rates of small …rms following the reforms. Our results highlight that this large-scale entry at the extensive margin can obscure the more subtle intensive margin e¤ects of changes in …nancing constraints. JEL Classi…cation: E44, G21, L26, L43, M13. Key Words: entrepreneurship, entry size, …nancial constraints, banking.
