Overview
The aim of this project is to pin down key factors for firm growth from various firm activities. 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 access to firms' external resources. This project further analyzes the relationship between firm growth and industrial development with special attention given to resource misallocation among firms and industries.
