Firm Growth : a Survey (2007, unknown): “Chesher (1979) and Bottazzi and Secchi (2003) found that only one lag was significant, whilst Geroski et al. (1997) find significant autocorrelation at the 3rd lag (though not for the second).”
Statistical Regularities in the Evolution of Industries. A Guide through some Evidence and Challenges for the Theory (2005, unknown): “Note also that this proposition is horthogonal to the finding that current growth appears to be correlated with future long-term profitability (cf. Geroski, Machin, and Walters (1997) )”
Technical Change and Industrial Dynamics as Evolutionary Processes (2009, result): “Note also that this proposition is orthogonal to the finding that current growth appears to be correlated with future long-term profitability (cf. Geroski, Machin, and Walters, 1997).”
Firm Growth: Empirical Analysis (2010, unknown): “On average, innovation doesn’t have much of an impact for ﬁrm growth, and some studies fail to ﬁnd a signiﬁcant eﬀect of innovation on subsequent growth of sales (Bottazzi, Dosi, Lippi, Pammolli, and Riccaboni, 2001; Geroski, Machin, and Walters, 1997).”
Firm size and growth in the United Kingdom life insurance industry (2002, background): “Using 1987–1996 data, this study empirically tested the predictions of Gibrat’s Law of Proportionate Effects in the UK life insurance industry and investigated the influences of other possible firm-specific determinants of corporate growth.”
Estimation of Panel Group Structure Models with Structural Breaks in Group Memberships and Coefficients (2020, unknown): “Sales growth is one of central interests in corporate finance as it serves as an important measure of corporate performance (Opler and Titman, 1994; Geroski et al., 1997; Beck et al., 2005; Barrot and Sauvagnat, 2016).”
A Closer Look at Serial Growth Rate Correlation (2006, result): “Positive serial correlation has often been observed, in studies such as those of Chesher (1979) and Geroski et al. (1997) find significant autocorrelation at the 3rd lag (though not for the second).”
Corporate performances and market selection. Some comparative evidence (2010, result): “proposition is compatible with the finding that current growth appears to be correlated with future long-term profitability (cfr. Geroski et al., 1997 ).”
