Who Creates Jobs? Small versus Large versus Young
利用美国人口普查局的企业动态统计和纵向企业数据库，研究发现一旦控制企业年龄，企业规模与就业增长之间没有系统关系，强调初创和年轻企业在创造就业中的重要作用。
The view that small businesses create the most jobs remains appealing to policymakers and small business advocates. Using data from the Census Bureau's Business Dynamics Statistics and Longitudinal Business Database, we explore the many issues at the core of this ongoing debate. We find that the relationship between firm size and employment growth is sensitive to these issues. However, our main finding is that once we control for firm age, there is no systematic relationship between firm size and growth. Our findings highlight the important role of business start-ups and young businesses in U.S. job creation. Copyright: No rights reserved.
