“…For the United Kingdom, Barnes and Haskel (2002) find that small establishments contribute more to net job creation. Voulgaris et al (2005) also find that small firms create more jobs on net, using data from Greece. On the other hand, Hohti (2000), studying data for Finland, reaches a conclusion more in line with Davis et al (1996a) -that there is no clear relationship between establishment size and net job creation.…”

We use the National Establishment Time Series (NETS) to revisit the debate about the role of small businesses in job creation (Birch, 1987; Davis, Haltiwanger, & Schuh, 1996a). Using the NETS data, we examine evidence for the overall economy, as well as for different sectors. The results indicate that small firms and small establishments create more jobs, on net, although the difference is much smaller than Birch's methods suggest. Moreover, in the recent period we study, a negative relationship between establishment size and net job creation holds for both the manufacturing and services sectors. © 2011 The President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“…The results from recent literature are mixed. Some studies (for example, Broersma & Gautier, [1997] for Netherlands, Voulgaris, Papadogonas, & Agiomirgianakis, [2005] for Greece, Neumark et al, [2011] for the U.S., Hijzen, Upward, & Wright, [2010] for the U.K.) find a negative relationship between firm size and job creation like Birch, and some (for example, Hohti, [2000] for Finland , Juniper, Mitchell, & Myers, [2004] for Australia) find no or a positive one like Davis et al (1996a). Haltiwanger Jarmin, and Miranda (2013) focus on firm age and find that in the U.S., once the firm age is accounted for, systematic negative relationship between firm size and job creation that is reported in some of the studies mentioned above disappears.…”

This study examines the relationship between firm size and job creation by using an extensive data set covering all non-farm Turkish businesses with 20 or more employees from 2003 to 2010. We find that small firms (firms with employees between 20 and 100 employees) have higher mean job flow rates (job creation, job destruction and net job creation rates) than large firms. Firm size and job flow rates are inversely related, and this relationship is especially prominent for firms with 50 employees or more. Although the overall pattern observed is also observed in both sectors, job creation rates in services are higher than the ones in manufacturing. The magnitudes of job destruction rates are comparable across sectors. Higher job creation rate in services but comparable job destruction rate results in higher net job creation rate in services. As for shares, only for smaller firms (20-49 and 50-99 size categories), job creation shares are greater than their shares in employment. But these firms have disproportionate job destruction shares as well. We also find that only the 20-49 category firms contribute to net job creation more than their share in employment. The smaller firms have high disproportionate shares in job creation and destruction in manufacturing and services as well.

“…Small firms, however, also differ from large ones in a number of other ways. For instance, in comparison to large and old firms small businesses and new entrants are more likely to experience job losses (see, e.g., Bartelsman et al 2005, Voulgaris et al 2005, and Neumark et al 2011). This suggests a considerable volatility in the number of employees in small firms usually referred to as churning.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractBased on a structural model for initial firm size, survival and firm growth we estimate firm-specific transition probabilities between size classes of the firm size distribution. This allows an assessment of the impact of different (counterfactual) economic policy measures on intra-distribution dynamics of the firm size distribution. We find that policies increasing the life span of firms reduce the exit hazard of young firms, but also reduce the probability to be a Gazelle. An increase in the industry-wide entry rate increases the exit hazards of incumbent firms and has no strong impact on the likelihood of firms to become Gazelles. Increasing market growth, by contrast, decreases the exit hazards for incumbent firms and slightly increases the likelihood of firms to be Gazelles. Finally, an increase in the birth size of firms increases the probability of young firms to be Gazelles with strongest effects for the smallest firms.
