abstract = {In this paper we provide empirical evidence on the determinants of firm start-up size using
data for the manufacturing sector in Ireland, and compare our results with recent findings for
Portuguese manufacturing industries (Mata and Machado, 1996). To allow for firm
heterogeneity between firm entrants we use quantile regression techniques for our empirical
estimation. We find that the determinants of start-up size differ in their importance for small
and large-scale entrants. In particular, industry size and industry growth seem to affect largescale entrants only.},
