TY - JOUR AU - J. BRADFORD JENSEN, ROBERT H. MCGUCKJN AB - This paper explores what we know and how we think about firm performance, firm and industry evolution, and economic growth. It reports empirical findings from a new literature that focuses explicitly on individual business units. In contrast to traditional empirical studies of competition and economic growth that examine aggregate economic variables such as industry or regional productivity, this new work concentrates on dffirences in the behavior of firms and their business units. The results emerging from these analyses confirm the importance of microeconomic approaches to economic research and place the firm at the center of economic growth. © Oxford University Press « Previous | Next Article » Table of Contents This Article ICC (1997) 6 (1): 25-47. doi: 10.1093/icc/6.1.25 » Abstract Free Full Text (PDF) Free Classifications Article Services Article metrics Alert me when cited Alert me if corrected Find similar articles Similar articles in Web of Science Add to my archive Download citation Request Permissions Citing Articles Load citing article information Citing articles via CrossRef Citing articles via Scopus Citing articles via Web of Science Citing articles via Google Scholar Google Scholar Articles by JENSEN, J.
