Firm growth and productivity growth: evidence from a panel VAR

Coad, Alex; Broekel, Tom - 2007

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

Firm growth and scaling of growth rate variance in multiplant firms

Coad, Alex - 2007

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 firm growth. Using data on French manufacturing firms, we observe a relatively low, but statistically significant, negative...

Growth processes of Italian manufacturing firms

Coad, Alex; Rao, Rekha; Tamagni, Federico - 2008

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....

The exponential age distribution and the Pareto firm size distribution

Coad, Alex - 2008

Recent work drawing on data for large and small firms has shown a Pareto distribution of firm size. We mix a Gibrat-type growth process among incumbents with an exponential distribution of firm's age, to obtain the empirical Pareto distribution.

Technology, competition and the time of entry: Diversification patterns in the development of new drugs

Plotnikova, Tatiana - 2009

This paper empirically investigates the determinants of R&D diversification strategies in the drug industry. It … enriches the existing literature by proposing to look at diversification factors, which reflect market and technological …&D diversification is governed by the economies of scope as well as the escape competition motive. Moreover, it is found that competition …
