Characteristics of Firms That Grow from Small to Medium Size: Industrial and Geographic Distribution of Small High-growth Firms - ARCHIVED

It provides an estimate of the number of small companies that have grown to medium-sized between 1995 and 2000. The data analysed in this paper are from the LEAP-SAF (Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program: Small Area File), a synthetic database constructed from various administrative sources.
