从数百个来源构建了跨部门和国家的机构平均就业规模的新数据集。制造业的企业规模大于服务业，而且在富裕国家，每个行业的企业规模都更大。企业规模的跨国收入弹性在各行业之间非常相似，约为0.3。一个包含内生企业进入、企业层面生产率以及数据中楔形与企业生产率相关性的两部门模型，可以解释企业规模差异的整个范围，以及富国和穷国之间非农业人均GDP差异的近50%。
A new dataset for the average employment size of establishments across sectors and countries is constructed from hundreds of sources. Establishments are larger in manufacturing than in services and in each sector larger in richer countries. The cross-country income elasticity of establishment size is remarkably similar across sectors, about 0.3. A two-sector model with endogenous firm entry, firm-level productivity, and measures of the correlation of wedges with productivity across firms in the data can account for the entire range of establishment size differences and almost 50 percent of the difference in non-agricultural GDP per capita between rich and poor countries.
