A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Growth and Profit Rate Distribution: The Spanish Case
MDPI (2022-03-14)We analyse the time evolution of the empirical cross-sectional distribution of firms’ profit and growth rates. In particular, we analyse the conditional properties of the empirical distributions depending on the size of ... -
A general scheme for finding the static rate–distortion optimized ordering for the bits of the coefficients of all subbands of an N-level dyadic biorthogonal DWT
Elsevier (2018)The expected distortion decrease per bit attained by conveying the significance and refinement information of transform coefficients is derived taking into consideration their Probability Distribution Function (PDF) and ... -
A statistical equilibrium model of competitive firms
Elsevier (2012-01)We find that the empirical density of firm profit rates, measured as returns on assets, is markedly non-Gaussian and reasonably well described by an exponential power (or Subbotin) distribution. We start from a statistical ... -
Does classical competition explain the statistical features of firm growth?
Elsevier (2008)We propose a statistical equilibrium model where the tendency for competition to equalize profit rates results in an exponential power (or Subbotin) distribution. The model supports and extends recent evidence on the Laplace ... -
Firm profitability and the network of organizational capabilities
Elsevier (2010)A Laplace distribution for firm profit rates (or returns on assets) can be obtained through the sum of many independent shocks if the number of shocks is Poisson distributed. Interpreting this as a linear chain of events, ... -
On the distributional properties of size, profit and growth of Icelandic firm
Springer Verlag (2012)In this paper, we analyze the distributional properties of the balance sheets of Icelandic firms by performing an empirical analysis of total assets, profit rates and growth rates using a data set of 2,818 Icelandic firms ...
