Production hierarchies in Sweden

Author

Listed:
  • Tåg, Joacim

Abstract

I study the internal organization of firms using Swedish occupation data. The empirical patterns match the theoretical predictions of Caliendo and Rossi-Hansberg (2012) and are similar to the patterns observed in French data by Caliendo et al. (2012).
