dc.description.abstract | This paper presents one of the first studies of firm demographics in Estonia, particularly, onthe processes of firm entry and exit as well as survival analysis of new firms. Alsodecompositions of productivity change into components consisting of resource reallocation,firm entry and exit, and productivity growth within continuing firms is carried out. Our results,derived from a novel database of the population of Estonian firms, show that firm turnoverhas been rather high in Estonia during the observed period from 1995 to 2001, resulting fromlow institutional entry barriers and emergence of the SME sector. The high survival rates fornew firms and surviving firms? relatively fast growth could reflect their relatively highproductivity compared to incumbent firms and changes in the sectoral structure of theeconomy. The decomposition of productivity change shows that the high productivity growthhas been mostly from within-firm productivity growth (e.g. the adoption of new productiontechnologies and organizational changes), but the reallocation of production factors(especially the exit of low productivity units) has played an important role as well. | en |
