This course introduces to theory and empirics of firm-industry dynamics and the role of
firm heterogeneity in shaping industrial evolution. The lectures have a strongly applied focus,
providing students with solid knowledge of the empirical evidence concerning key firm-level
characteristics (size, growth, productivity and innovation) and industry-level dynamics, with
the final aim at developing an informed view about the ability of theories to match with facts.
Course outline (see Syllabus for more details):
1. Markets, industries and firms' heterogeneity
2. Firm productivity: empirics and stylised facts
3. Firm size and firm growth dynamics
4. The role of entry, exit and firm age in industry dynamics
5. Models of firm heterogeneity and industry dynamics
6. Productivity, firm growth and market selection
7. Innovation and firm-industry dynamics
