Recent empirical analyses on different datasets have revealed a common exponential behavior in the shape of the probability density of the corporate growth rates. We present new evidence on this topic from the Italian Manufacturing Industry and propose a very simple mechanism that, under rather general assumptions, provides a robust explanation for the observed regularities.
Why are distributions of firm growth rates tent-shaped?

Recent empirical analyses on different datasets have revealed a common exponential behavior in the shape of the probability density of the corporate growth rates. We present new evidence on this topic from the Italian Manufacturing Industry and propose a very simple mechanism that, under rather general assumptions, provides a robust explanation for the observed regularities.File in questo prodotto:
