My first employee: an empirical investigation (2016, background): “However, despite the efforts, research into the determinants of firm growth has been slow (McKelvie and Wiklund 2010), and our ability to predict which firms will grow is hardly better than random (Geroski 2000; Coad et al. 2013; Denrell et al. 2015).”
An Assessment of Resource-Based Theorizing on Firm Growth and Suggestions for the Future (2018, background): “Geroski (2000) concluded that growth rates were nearly random.”
Firm Growth : a Survey (2007, background): “Economic theorizing also recognizes the centrality of innovation in growth of firm sales (see for example the discussion in Geroski (2000, 2005) or the theoretical model in Aghion and Howitt (1992)).”
New Firms' Survival and Market Turbulence: New Evidence from Spain (2002, background): “Geroski (1999) has argued, in favor of Gibrat’s Law, that there is plenty of empirical evidence demonstrating that corporate growth rates are random.”
Corporate Growth and Industrial Structure. Some Evidence from the Italian Manufacturing Industry (2001, methodology): “(This is also akin the hypothesis put forward by Geroski, 2000.)”
CSR, Innovation, and Firm Performance in Sluggish Growth Contexts: A Firm-Level Empirical Analysis (2015, background): “2007), which also gained more attention following an application that showed that the rates of growth of large and/or old firms are often erratic and thus unpredictable (Geroski 1999).”
High-growth entrepreneurial firms in Africa: a quantile regression approach (2010, background): “In line with the resource-based view of the firm (Penrose 1959), there is broad theoretical reasoning that firm-specific investments in innovation and R&D raise competence and open up growth opportunities (Aghion and Howitt 1992; Geroski 2000; see Coad 2009 for a discussion).”
Do liquidity constraints matter in explaining firm size and growth? Some evidence from the Italian manufacturing industry (2006, methodology): “See e.g. Simon and Bonini (1958), Ijiri and Simon (1977) and Geroski (2000).”
Are high-growth firms one-hit wonders? Evidence from Sweden (2015, background): “…extensively on the LPE and the relationship between firm size and firm growth, dating back to Gibrat (1931), but there have been relatively few studies on the dynamics of growth rates (Sutton, 1997; Geroski, 2002; Lotti et al, 2003; Audretsch et al, 2004 provide authoritative surveys of the LPE).”
