I assemble a unique dataset using several new administrative sources and, as identification strategy, exploit a governmental procurement process that allocates public contracts through a randomised contest. I find a positive and significant effect of demand shocks on firm growth. On average, an increase in demand of 10 per cent will increase wage expenses and fixed assets by approximately 5 per cent during the year of the shock. I also find no evidence of spillover effects from demand shocks on sales to the public or private sector. Finally, as in other studies, I show that demand positively impacts firm growth but, contrary to other findings, this effect is temporary and only observed during the year of the shock. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
