Large employers are more cyclically sensitive
Moscarini, Giuseppe; Postel-Vinay, Fabien - 2009
We provide new evidence that large firms or establishments are more sensitive than small ones to business cycle conditions. Larger employers shed proportionally more jobs in recessions and create more of their new jobs late in expansions, both in gross and net terms. The differential growth rate...
