Innovation and firm growth in high-tech sectors: A quantile regression approach (2008, background): “Although the virtues of selective pressures operating on heterogeneous firms have been extolled in theoretical contributions (e.g. Alchian, 1950), it appears here that selection only wields influence over the outliers (this is in line with a conjecture in Bottazzi et al. (2002)).”
Statistical Regularities in the Evolution of Industries. A Guide through some Evidence and Challenges for the Theory (2005, unknown): “The two distributions turn out to be significantly different, meaning that there are systematic but idiosyncratic differences in autocorrelation structures, which are not captured by sectoral average autocorrelation coefficients (cf. Bottazzi, Cefis, and Dosi (2002)).”
Innovation and the evolution of industries (2006, background): “growth, stability of firm size distributions, and persistence in asymmetric firm performance (see the work by Audretsch 1995; Baldwin 1995; Geroski 1994; Bottazzi et al. 2002 among others).”
Corporate performances and market selection. Some comparative evidence (2010, background): “Some preliminary evidence on Italian data is presented in Bottazzi et al. (2002, 2008) and Dosi (2007), hinting at a quite weak power of selection forces.”
An Evolutionary Model of Endogenous Business Cycles (2006, methodology): “For a similar approach see, among others, Bottazzi, Cefis, and Dosi (2002) .”
Are high-growth firms one-hit wonders? Evidence from Sweden (2015, methodology): “Firm growth rates have also been shown to resemble a Laplace distribution with its characteristic “tent-shape” (Stanley et al, 1996; Bottazzi and Secchi, 2003; Bottazzi et al, 2011), with most firms not growing at all, and only a few with very high growth. The average firm is thus of limited interes”
Do liquidity constraints matter in explaining firm size and growth? Some evidence from the Italian manufacturing industry (2006, background): “13An alternative strategy allowing to wash-away mergers and acquisitions effects is to build “superfirms” (Bottazzi, Dosi, Lippi, Pammolli, and Riccaboni, 2001; Bottazzi, Cefis, and Dosi, 2002).”
Invariances and Diversities in the Evolution of Manufacturing Industries (2003, unknown): “Here we move a step forward and, irrespec-tively of the possible eﬀects of initial conditions, broadly in line with Stanley et al. (1996), Bottazzi et al. (2001), Bottazzi et al. (2002), we analyze and compare the shapes of the distributions themselves.”
Technical Change and Industrial Dynamics as Evolutionary Processes (2009, background): “In Bottazzi et al. (2003) and Dosi (2007) one conjectures that such mechanisms are likely to be of two types.”
Testing the Principle of "Growth of the Fitter": The Relationship between Profits and Firm Growth (2005, methodology): “In addition, using a database of Italian manufacturing firms, Bottazzi et al. (2002) fail to find a robust relationship between productivity and growth (see also Dosi (2005)).”
Corporate growth and industrial dynamics: evidence from French manufacturing (2005, methodology): “Because of limited information on restructuring activities and in contrast to some previous studies (see Bottazzi et al. (2001) for an example), we do not attempt to construct ‘super-firms’ by treating firms that merge at some stage during the period under study as if they had been merged from the…”
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): “The analysis in Bottazzi et al. (2002) begins with the observation that the mean autocorrelation coefficient for a given industry is either insignificantly different from zero, or else very small in magnitude.”
