  3. Measuring high growth Selection variables • Two classes of variables: • employment a) number of employees b) wages/salaries, • economic performance a) turnover = sales b) value added

  4. Number of High Growth firms 2002-2005, (10+ empl. and +20%), in 2002. percentage of each category

  5. Number Employees in High Growth firms 02-05, (10+ empl. and +20%), in 2002. percentage of each category

  6. Selection variable – employment or economic performance? = new employees Economic performance Flyer Gazelles Time Time period of study

  7. The share of high growth firms, gazelles and flyers selection variable = employment, 1998-2005 0,60 0,50 0,40 HGE 0,30 GZE Flyers 0,20 0,10 0,00 Year 98 Year 99 Year 00 Year 01 Year 02 Year 03 Year 04 Year 05

  8. The share of high growth firms, gazelles and flyers selection variable = value added, 2000 - 2005 1,00 0,90 0,80 0,70 0,60 HGE Value Add 0,50 GZE Value Add Flyers Value Add 0,40 0,30 0,20 0,10 0,00 Year 00 Year 01 Year 02 Year 03 Year 04 Year 05

  16. Sensitivity Analysis Gazelles of all surviving plants, %, 2002-2005, within size classes, growth rates = 10%, 20%, 30%.

  17. Summary - high growth - Sweden Choice of selection variables: economic performance = Gazelles ( 15%) + Flyers (5%) = All HG (7%) employment = Gazelles ( 9%) + Flyers (3%) = All HG (4%) Gazelles employ = young, more females, higher education, lower salaries
