1 Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries 1 Ufuk Akcigit University of Chicago & NBER Conference on Economic Growth - July 10, Based on a joint work with Harun Alp (UPenn) and Michael Peters (Yale) Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,

2 Background Understanding the growth process requires a good understanding of micro players (firms & entrepreneurs) of the macroeconomy. Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,

3 Background Understanding the growth process requires a good understanding of micro players (firms & entrepreneurs) of the macroeconomy. Going from micro-to-macro is crucial. Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,

4 Background Understanding the growth process requires a good understanding of micro players (firms & entrepreneurs) of the macroeconomy. Going from micro-to-macro is crucial. The back-and-forth dialogue between data and theory is important. Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,

5 What is Our Research Approach? Start with empirical regularities in the micro data. Motivated by those regularities, construct a general equilibrium theory of firm dynamics and aggregate growth. Estimate the structural parameters of the model using micro-level data. Conduct counterfactual experiments. Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,

6 Motivation Recent literature: Firm dynamics in poor countries show striking differences to those of rich countries Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,

10 Share of Establishments The stagnant firms in India Extra... but aggregate importance of tiny producers stays stubbornly high Age India Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,

11 Selection in the US vs India Many small firms exist in the US as well but they do not matter as much and exit quickly Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,

13 Motivation: Entrepreneurial Selection There are two types of entrepreneurs in the data: Schoar (2010), Hurst and Pugsley (2012), Decker, Haltiwanger, Jarmin and Miranda (2014) Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,

14 Motivation: Entrepreneurial Selection There are two types of entrepreneurs in the data: Schoar (2010), Hurst and Pugsley (2012), Decker, Haltiwanger, Jarmin and Miranda (2014) Subsistence entrepreneurs: No intention to grow Want to keep the business within the family.

15 Motivation: Entrepreneurial Selection There are two types of entrepreneurs in the data: Schoar (2010), Hurst and Pugsley (2012), Decker, Haltiwanger, Jarmin and Miranda (2014) Subsistence entrepreneurs: No intention to grow Want to keep the business within the family. Transformative entrepreneurs: Create businesses with the intention to innovate and grow Create employment for other workers and value added for the economy.

30 Stylized Facts from Bloom & Van Reenen et al. s Work Micro-evidence: Limits to managerial delegation important for firm performance in developing countries - Outside managers misappropriate assets due to weak rule of law. - Span of control of the owner is a binding constraint in developing countries. - Family size is one of the best predictors of firm size in India.

95 Conclusions Firm selection and factor reallocation are key for economic growth yet they don t happen in developing countries. Not everybody is destined to be a good entrepreneur. (Right allocation of microcredits?) Credit constraints and size-dependent distortions are (I am sure) important. Yet there is something else that is fundamentally missing in developing countries. Tranformative entrepreneurs need a good playground with strong rule of law and trust. Ufuk Akcigit (U of Chicago and NBER) Firm Dynamics in Developing Countries July 10,
