| Abstract: | This paper presents a new sectoral taxonomy classifying industries according to the opportunity and cost of experimentation. Econometric tests show for a sample of 24 countries that in the 1990s 'entrepreneurial' industries (here as: inds.) with a mutable and growing firm population experienced the highest growth in terms of value added and employment, but also the lowest growth of labour productivity. 'Entrepreneurial' inds. earned a better profit-ratio than 'routinized' inds. with an inertial population. The results are consistent with entrepreneurial theories of market competition suggesting that entry follows profit opportunities but does not deplete them. |
