报告内容简介（摘要）：

The present study examines the association between the age structure of firms in countries/ regions and the growth of the economy. Building on the model of “learning across generations” (LAG), we argue that a balanced mix of new ventures and established firms create an additional contribution to the economic growth. The results suggest that age structures of firms, measured by skewness and kurtosis, are significantly associated with the rate of economic growth in economies. Specifically, the results suggest that the economic growth tends to be higher in age distributions with a greater positive skew and a lower kurtosis in the distributions, suggesting that new ventures are the driving force of economic growth and LAG makes an additional contribution to the economic growth.
