The superstar firms model provides a compelling explanation for two simultaneously occurring phenomena: the rise of concentration in industries and the fall of labor shares. Our empirical analysis confirms two of the underlying assumptions of the model: the market share increases and the labor...

This paper examines the effect of the presence of multinational companies on plant survival in the host country. We postulate that multinational companies can impact positively on plant survival through technology spillovers. We study the nature of the effect of multinationals using a Cox...

Using firm-level panel data from the German cost structure survey over the period 1992 to 2000, our empirical analysis shows that firms that increased material inputs relative to internal labor costs performed better in terms of gross operating surplus than other firms. However, firms that...

Entrepreneurship is a local and dynamic phenomenon. We jointly investigate spatial spillovers and time persistence of … persistence of start-up activity, especially in the high-tech industry. This indicates that entrepreneurship is deeply rooted in …

This paper investigates the degree of persistence of market fear. Specifically, two different long-memory approaches (R …/S analysis with the Hurst exponent method and fractional integration) are used to analyse persistence of the VIX index over the … future values), whilst during crisis period the level of persistence is increasing. These results can be informative about …

This paper examines the degree of persistence in UK inflation by applying long-memory methods to historical data that … detect any shifts in the degree of persistence, and also run rolling-window and recursive regressions to investigate its … evolution over time. On the whole, the evidence suggests that the degree of persistence of UK inflation has been relatively …
