- 3. Firm Size and the Risk/Return Trade-off ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0027M2013087Geography: CanadaDescription:
The topic of firm size and performance continues to spark the interest of researchers and policy-makers. Small and medium-sized enterprises receive much of the attention, as they have the potential to grow significantly. However, compared with their larger counterparts, these firms are more likely to fail and are therefore riskier.
Is risk important in explaining differences in profitability across firm size classes? This study uses a longitudinal firm-level dataset to examine determinants of profitability by firm size, with an emphasis on risk, or the volatility in rates of return. It builds on previous research that found firms with 10 to 20 employees tend to be the most profitable.
Release date: 2013-12-19 - 4. Firm Dynamics: Variation in Profitability Across Canadian Firms of Different Sizes, 2000 to 2009 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-622-M2012026Geography: CanadaDescription:

Release date: 2012-07-31 - 6. Manufacturing: The Year 2009 in Review ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-621-M2010087Geography: CanadaDescription:

Release date: 2010-06-24 - Articles and reports: 11F0024M20050008659Description:
Traditionally rates of return in the agriculture sector have been calculated on the market value of the assets as opposed to the historical cost. In other sectors rates of return are calculated on the basis of the historical cost of the assets which has meant that rates of returns in agriculture are not comparable to those in other sectors.
This paper calculates rates of return for incorporated farms, based on the historical cost of the assets and compares these rates of returns to those in other sectors. It also measures the impact of capital gains on the rates of return for the agriculture sector. In the final section of the paper we measure the level of risk with the rates of return both in the agricultural sector and in other sectors.
