Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
This paper examines the frequency, pervasiveness, and determinants of product
switching by US manufacturing firms. We find that one-half of firms alter
their mix of five-digit SIC products every five years, that product switching is
correlated with both firm- and firm-product attributes, and that product adding
and dropping induce large changes in firm scope. The behavior we observe is
consistent with a natural generalization of existing theories of industry dynamics
that incorporates endogenous product selection within firms. Our findings
suggest that product switching contributes to a reallocation of resources within
firms toward their most efficient use. (JEL L11, L21, L25, L60)
