| Abstract: | The importance of industry attributes for the distribution of firm start-up size is evaluated using data on the individual firms created in Portugal. By estimating conditional quantile functions 'snap-shots' are taken of the conditional distribution of new firms' dimension at different quantiles. The approach used provides answers that usual methods do not do. Industry attributes, such as scale economies and turbulence, are found to be more important for the largest entrants. |
