We propose a new method for estimating the power-law exponent of a firm size variable, such as annual sales. Our focus … is on how to empirically identify a range in which a firm size variable follows a power-law distribution. As is well … known, a firm size variable follows a power-law distribution only beyond some threshold. On the other hand, in almost all …

Among the phenomena in economics that are not yet well-understood is the fat-tailed (power-law) distribution of firm …-2008. We estimate the power-law distribution and confirm its plausibility using the KS test and the log-likelihood ratio vs …
