Abstract

Using nationally representative panel data for British private sector workplaces this paperpoints to the importance of distinguishing between workplace and firm size when analysingemployment growth, and finds that the factors associated with growth differ markedlybetween single independent establishments and those belonging to multi-site firms. Resultsalso differ according to whether one adjusts for sample selection arising from workplacesurvival, and according to whether one distinguishes between growth per se and internal,organic employment growth. We find evidence at the plant level that is consistent withcreative job destruction.
