Specifically, using firm-, establishment-, or item-level micro data, this project conducts empirical analyses on the relationship between firm growth and (1) research and development (R&D) and innovation, (2) overseas activities, and (3) spinoffs, acquisitions, and restructuring. This project further analyzes the relationship between firm growth and industrial development with special attention given to resource misallocation among firms and industries.
