''Common Components in Firms' Growth and the Sectors Scaling Puzzle''
( 2008, Vol. 12 No.35 )
 
 
In this paper we show how a simple modification of a well-known multiplicative process of firms' growth, taking into account common and idiosyncratic elements, allows to reconcile an old aggregate-sector puzzle (Quandt, 1966) on firms'' size distribution reported in the literature.
