On the Autocorrelation of Growth Rates (2009, background): “Positive autocorrelation has been found in studies as different such as those of Chesher (1979) and Geroski, Machin, and Walters (1997), for UK quoted firms, Wagner (1992) for German manufacturing firms, Weiss (1998) for Austrian farms or Bottazzi and Secchi (2003) for US manufacturing.”
Testing the Principle of "Growth of the Fitter": The Relationship between Profits and Firm Growth (2005, methodology): “In keeping with previous studies (e.g. Bottazzi et al., 2005), our measure of growth rates is calculated by taking the differences of the logarithms of size: GROWTHit = log(SIZEit)− log(SIZEi,t−1) (2) where SIZE is measured in terms of sales, employees or Value Added, for firm i at time t.”
Are high-growth firms one-hit wonders? Evidence from Sweden (2015, methodology): “Another fruitful area of research is potential HGFs. Consistent with other studies (Bottazzi et al, 2011), we found that most firms did not grow at all.”
Like milk or wine: Does firm performance improve with age? (2013, background): “First, the autocorrelation coefficients are much more strongly negative in the OLS case, as has been found in previous work (Bottazzi et al., 2010).”
Firm growth and barriers to growth among small firms in India (2012, background): “Median regressions have indeed been popular in growth rate regressions because of the heavy-tailed and non-Gaussian nature of growth rate distributions [see, for example, Bottazzi et al. (2011) and Coad (2007)].”
Firm Growth : a Survey (2007, unknown): “For French manufacturing firms, the analysis in Bottazzi et al. (2005) yields estimates of β of around -0.07, although in the case of Italian manufacturing firms Bottazzi et al. (2007) fail to find any relation between growth rate variability and size.”
Investigating the Exponential Age Distribution of Firms (2010, background): “Bottazzi et al. (2010) also observe significant bimodality in the French clothing sector.”
Innovation and firm growth in high-tech sectors: A quantile regression approach (2008, background): “…growth rates on size (i.e. a slight reversion to the mean), leading us to reject Gibrat’s Law (among a large number of studies see for example Mansfield (1962), Hall (1987), Evans (1987), Hart and Oulton (1996), Bottazzi et al. (2005), Bottazzi et al. (2006); see also Sutton (1997) for a review).”
