Firm Entry and Exit Dynamics Over Business Cycles

This replication package contains data and code for a study investigating firm entry, exit, and heterogeneity across business cycles. The dataset supports replication of industry-location level and firm-level analyses from the associated paper. Specific row counts, column details, and data formats are not provided in the input.

Use Cases

• Replicate industry-location level analyses of firm entry and exit dynamics using the provided code and data.
• Replicate firm-level results examining heterogeneity in firm characteristics over the business cycle.
• Analyze the relationship between business cycle conditions and firm composition using the study's replication files.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed academic study on firm dynamics.
• Replication package includes both code and data for verifying results.
• Dataset was last updated in February 2026.

Limitations

• The dataset's size, structure, and specific variables are not described, limiting initial assessment.
• As a replication package, the data may be processed specifically for the study's analyses and not in a raw, general-purpose form.
• Geographic and temporal coverage of the underlying data is not specified.
