The table reveals that no previous study has used productivity growth or growth in value added as growth indicators to define HGFs when their economic contribution has been analyzed. 6 Productivity has been discussed in the literature on HGFs prior to this paper (Acs et al., 2008; Fritsch and Mueller, 2004; Littunen and Thomo, 2003). However, little has been made of this observation. Fritsch and Mueller (2004) stress the difficulties in gathering data on productivity, which can explain why no previous study has explicitly addressed this issue.

The bulk of all new jobs has been shown to be created by a small number of high-growth firms (henceforth HGFs). However, no earlier study has analyzed the contribution of HGFs to economic growth or productivity. Furthermore, when their economic contribution is analyzed, HGFs have previously without exception been defined using growth in sales or employment as growth indicators. By growth indicator we refer to the variable in terms of which firm growth is defined. No previous study examining the contribution of HGFs has defined HGFs on growth in value added or productivity. ...

When considering demand side factors, we find that wealthier countries, measured by GDP per capita, and countries with a more educated population have a larger mutual fund sector. These effects are particularly pronounced for the equity sector, which may require a higher level of investor sophistication. Internet penetration is also positively related to the size of the mutual fund sector, but it is highly correlated with the other demand size variables.

In view of the dynamic growth in the luxury market and the availability of luxury goods to a wider range of consumers than ever before, the luxury market has transformed from its traditional conspicuous consumption model to a new experiential luxury sensibility marked by a change in the way consumers define luxury.

Many employers have tried to educate their employees to make better decisions or supplied tools to help them improve their choices. The empirical evidence does not suggest that these methods are, in and of themselves, adequate solutions to the problems. The same large employer discussed above that offered its employees the chance to switch from a defined benefit to a defined contribution plan offered its employees a financial education program free of charge. The employer measured the effectiveness of this education by administering a before-and-after test of financial literacy.

The risk that one will outlive one’s money is best referred to as “longevity risk.” The traditional way that savers have managed this risk is by purchasing life annuities or by having annuitylike cash flow streams purchased for them through defined- benefit (DB) pension plans. (Social Security can also be understood, at least from the viewpoint of the recipient, as an inflation-indexed life annuity.) DB pension plans are declining in importance, however, and a great many workers do not have such a plan.
