Abstract:
|
The contribution of different-sized businesses to job creation continues to
attract policymakers’ attention, however, it has recently been recognized
that conclusions about size were confounded with the effect of age. We
probe the role of size, controlling for age, by comparing the cohorts of
firms born in 1998 over their first decade of life, using variation across
half a dozen northern European countries Austria, Finland, Germany,
Norway, Sweden, and the UK to pin down size effects. We find that a very
small proportion of the smallest firms play a crucial role in accounting
for cross-country differences in job growth. A closer analysis reveals
that the initial size distribution and survival rates do not seem to explain
job growth differences between countries, rather it is a small number of
rapidly growing firms that are driving this result.
