Abstract

The central aim of this paper is to report findings from an Australian study of the influence of firm dynamics on labour productivity growth during Australia’s productivity surge in the 1990s. Like studies of other countries, the within-firm effects are found to dominate net entry and exit effects. While the time interval is relatively short (three years) and the representativeness of the sample is open to question, the findings suggest that Australian firms behaved more in line with the “US model” than with the “European model”. The paper also raises a number of data issues in using the Business Longitudinal Survey for this kind of analysis ... Le rôle des entrées et sorties d'entreprises dans la croissance de la productivité en Australie L’objet principal de ce document est de rendre compte des conclusions d’une étude australienne relative à l’influence de la dynamique des entreprises sur la croissance de la productivité du travail enregistré en Australie dans les années 90. Comme pour d’autres pays, on constate que les effets intraentreprise sont plus importants que les effets nets d’entrée et de sortie. La période considérée est relativement courte (3 ans) et la représentativité de l’échantillon n’est pas sans défaut, mais l’étude montre que le comportement des entreprises australiennes a été plus proche du « modèle américain » que du « modèle européen ». Le présent document soulève par ailleurs un certain nombre de questions que pose l’utilisation du Business Longitudinal Survey pour ce type d’analyse ...
