This paper analyses the effects of innovation networks on product and process innovation and sales growth of high … technology SMEs. Innovation net- works are positively related to both product and process innovation, i.e. knowledge creation …. One exception is the negative effect of innovation networks with suppliers on product innovation. Older SMEs are more …

Structural vector-autoregressive models are potentially very useful tools for guiding both macro- and microeconomic policy. In this paper, we present a recently developed method for exploiting non-Gaussianity in the data for estimating such models, with the aim of capturing the causal structure...

We apply a reduced-form vector autoregression model to analyze the growth processes of Italian manufacturing firms, 1989-1997. We focus in particular on lead-lag associations describing the coevolution of employment growth, sales growth, growth of profits and labour productivity growth....

While Gibrat's Law assumes that growth rate variance is independent of size, empirical work has usually found a negative relationship between growth rate variance and ï¬rm growth. Using data on French manufacturing ï¬rms, we observe a relatively low, but statistically signiï¬cant, negative...

This paper offers new insights into the processes of ï¬rm growth by applying a reduced-form vector autoregression (VAR) model to longitudinal panel data on French manufacturing ï¬rms. We observe the co-evolution of key variables such as growth of employment, sales, and gross operating...
