Table 3 Parameters controlling the probability of employment growth by type of firms
From: Mandatory costs by firm size thresholds: firm location, growth and death in Sri Lanka
Type of firm | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Employment in period t | EPZ | Non EPZ | Difference |
Firm employment growth effects below the threshold | |||
\( {\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{it}}^{{\mathrm{L}}^{-}}=1:{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{it}-1}\le 13 \) | \( {\upbeta}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{-}}+{\upbeta}_{\mathrm{EPZ}}+{\upgamma}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{-}} \) | \( {\upbeta}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{-}} \) | \( {\upbeta}_{\mathrm{EPZ}}+{\upgamma}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{-}} \) |
Lit = 14 | βEPZ | reference | βEPZ |
Difference | \( {\upbeta}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{-}}+{\upgamma}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{-}} \) | \( {\upbeta}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{-}} \) | \( {\upgamma}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{-}} \) |
Firm employment growth effects above the threshold | |||
\( {\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{it}}^{{\mathrm{L}}^{+}}=1:\ {\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{it}}\ge 15 \) | \( {\upbeta}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{+}}+{\upbeta}_{\mathrm{EPZ}}+{\upgamma}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{+}} \) | \( {\upbeta}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{+}} \) | \( {\upbeta}_{\mathrm{EPZ}}+{\upgamma}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{+}} \) |
Lit = 14 | βEPZ | reference | βEPZ |
Difference | \( {\upbeta}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{+}}+{\upgamma}_{L^{+}} \) | \( {\upbeta}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{+}} \) | \( {\upgamma}_{{\mathrm{L}}^{+}} \) |
