A theoretical framework for evolutionary economic geography: industrial dynamics and urban growth as a branching process (2007, background): “In empirical research, such instances of path dependence in firm growth and urban growth have indeed been observed as evidenced by temporal autocorrelation in growth rates (Bottazzi et al., 2002; Bottazzi and Secchi, 2006; Pumain, 2006).”
Firm Growth : a Survey (2007, unknown): “Bottazzi and Secchi (2006a) reject Gibrat’s law on the basis of a negative relationship between growth rate variance and firm size.”
A new class of asymmetric exponential power densities with applications to economics and finance (2011, background): “…level, strong leptokurtosis has been identified inbusiness companies growth rates in many developed countries, irrespectively of the proxy used to measure firm size and of the level of disaggregation considered (Stanley et al., 1996; Bottazzi and Secchi, 2003, 2006a,b; Bottazzi et al., 2007).”
Drivers of Entrepreneurship and Post-Entry Performance of Newborn Firms in Developing Countries (2014, unknown): “Actually, entrepreneurial dynamics in DC is more likely to occur in sectors which are far from the technological frontier; therefore, the prevalence of traditional and mature sectors make these contexts less fertile for innovation-driven entrepreneurship. According to Siqueira and Bruton (2010), hig”
Entrepreneurship and the Process of Firms' Entry, Survival and Growth (2007, unknown): “…years newborn firms assume a Gibrat-like behaviour (Lotti, Santarelli and Vivarelli, 2001 and 2003; Santarelli and Vivarelli, 2002; for the role of dynamic increasing returns and cumulative corporate competences in shaping the growth process of firms, see Bottazzi and Secchi, 2006a and 2006b).”
Is entrepreneurship necessarily good? Microeconomic evidence from developed and developing countries (2013, background): “On the other hand, a vast number of papers have found (conditional on survival) a negative relationship between start-up size and post-entry growth, thus rejecting Gibrat’s Law (Gibrat, 1931; Hall, 1987; Hart and Oulton, 1996; Sutton, 1997; Goddard et al., 2002; Lotti et al., 2003, 2009; Bottazzi an”
