چکیده
In this paper I present evidence that sample selection or attrition introduces very little bias into growth rate equations over time periods of approximately five to ten years. In this appendix I present the results of a time series analysis of three sets of firms (those in the sample from 1972 to 1979, from 1976 to 1983, and the combined sample from 1972 to 1983) with some confidence that these results are not very biased by the exclusion of entrants and exiters.
