Sectoral and cross-sectoral effects of retailing firm demographies

Résumé

Firm births and deaths are interrelated. Johnson and
Parker (1994) have summarized the various causality
relationships according to three different effects: (1)
the Multiplier, (2) the Competition and (3) the Marshall
effect. This article proposes an enlarged analytical
framework by introducing the sectoral and cross
sectoral dimensions of firm demography. The
expected interrelationships between firm births and
deaths are different when studied within a single
industry, or between different industries. In the first
case, Competition effects should prevail while, in the
second case, Multiplier effects are more probable. The
discussion suggests, however, that even for firms with
similar activities, complementarities and Multiplier
effects may occur. An econometric model that allows
for (cross-)sectoral and spatial interactions is
specified and tested using Belgian data. Results lead
to the conclusion that sectoral and cross-sectoral
dimensions in firm demography are relevant. It is
also clear that these issues definitely deserve further
attention in firm demographic research.
