• Sluggish productivity growth and stalled job creation. Increasing policy interest in: – Job creation/destruction; creative destruction and productivity growth;
allocative efficiency; new sources of growth – Firm dynamics and heterogeneous impact of (horizontal) policies and of
policies that depend on size
• Central role of young firms – Key drivers of job creation – “Up-or-out” dynamics: high rates of job creation and destruction – Secular decline in start-up rates
• Heterogeneous impact of Great Recession
Motivation

• Data needs: based on firm level data; cross-country; longitudinal; representative; detailed information on sector of activity; age and size dimensions;
• Commercial data repositories have well known shortcomings
• Lack of “timely” cross-country harmonized and “representative” (micro-aggregated) firm-level longitudinal data on job flows across OECD countries – National Statistical Offices surveys and Business Registers – Access / Confidentiality – Comparability
• Additional benefits: Value-for-Money; Replicability
Motivation: data needs and challenges

DynEmp: provides new cross-country evidence on employment dynamics using microaggregated data
– Led by the Working Party of Industry Analysis (WPIA) – Coordinated by the DynEmp-team at the OECD – Phase I: Data for 18 countries (17 OECD + Brazil) – Phase II: in the field, up to 28 countries
MultiProd: provides evidence on productivity
The Projects

• Methodology: – Metadata collection – Confidential national business registers – Flexible micro-aggregation along different dimensions
using a distributed microdata (DMD) approach. – Single, thoroughly tested Stata routine:
• Flexible to adapt to differences in data setup • Extensive confidentiality checks and blanking • Internal bridging of different sectoral classifications • Easily extendable over time and countries • Programmed in a modular way: flexible to updates in
methodology and policy issues • Country notes
The methodology

–Annual panel data on • job flows (creation, destruction) • employment and number of firms
–By: 18 countries (17 OECD + Brazil) × 3 broad sectors (Manufacturing, construction and non-financial services) × 5 age classes (0; 1-2; 3-5; 6-10; 11+) × 6 size classes (Thresholds: 1, 10, 50, 100, 250, 500) × 11 years (2001-2011) × 3 status (incumbent, entrant, exiting firm)

Express • A preview of new evidence from DynEmp
• Ongoing research: – Multiprod – Evidence based policy analysis
Roadmap
![Page 27: 2014.09.09 - NAEC Seminar_Young SMEs, growth and job creation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54734534b4af9fae0a8b528e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Cross-country differences in productivity explain a large share of income per capita differences
• Large heterogeneity in firm-level productivity, even in narrowly defined industries: countries might display the same average but very different underlying distributions
• Misallocation lowers aggregate productivity • Distribution matters: low average productivity can be
explained by too few firms at the top (lack of innovation) or too many firms at the bottom (weak market selection)
MultiProd – Motivation
![Page 28: 2014.09.09 - NAEC Seminar_Young SMEs, growth and job creation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54734534b4af9fae0a8b528e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Cross country differences in firm-level productivity performance: – Schumpeterian process of creative destruction across countries – Characterization of entire firm-level productivity distribution by
industry, and refined by size, age, and ownership categories – Measures of allocative efficiency – Descriptive statistics of firms’ characteristics at different segments of
the productivity level and growth distributions – Firms at the frontier: differences across countries; contribution to
aggregate productivity
• Estimates of misallocation and market inefficiency • Income inequality: drivers of wage dispersion and relationship with
productivity dispersion • Time: before, during and after the recent Great Recession
MultiProd – Output
![Page 29: 2014.09.09 - NAEC Seminar_Young SMEs, growth and job creation](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54734534b4af9fae0a8b528e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Empirical regularities and their impact on policies – Net job creation does not come from all small firms, but only from
those that are young – Growth dynamics of firms differs across countries; in some countries,
firms hardly scale after entry – Growth of young innovative firms means “up” or “out”;
entrepreneurs need flexibility to experiment with new technologies and new business models
– Decline in start-up rates – Co-existence of success and failure (experimentation)
• New data for policy analysis (e.g. size contingent policies)
• Methodology can be replicated to assess different policy domains (e.g. R&D support) and agents (e.g. workers; regions; etc.)
Evidence based policy analysis
