The intuition of this technique is to estimate the effect of productivity (size) growth on size (productivity) growth by matching high-growth-productivity (-size) firms with non-high-growth-productivity (-size) firms.
This counterfacual is based on matching the high-growth-productivity (size) firm with a control group of similar characteristics that do not receive the productivity (size) shock.
Therefore, the productivity (size) shock considered in the baseline specification might include a size—(productivity-) shock component.
The method constructs a counterfactual which allows analyzing how size (productivity) of a firm would have evolved if it had not received a productivity (size) shock.
The baseline estimates control for selection on observables by including the following firm covariates: lagged high growth status, total factor productivity, size, export status, wages, and age.
HGF only TFP (size) refer to high-growth firms in terms of productivity (size) but not in terms of size (productivity) —see the main text for more details.
