Description
This project aims to improve understanding of the contribution of high-growth firms to the wider economy, with a particular focus on those benefits that firms fail to appropriate for themselves. It will analyse the different channels by which growing firms have an impact on the economy. For example:
- growing to become a larger firm;
- being acquired by larger firms, driving their growth;
- increasing competitive pressures on incumbents; and
- spillovers.
