To investigate whether there is a similar relationship between R&D intensity and growth in high-tech and non-high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), we examine two samples of SMEs in manufacturing industries, applying the two-step estimation method. Our findings are that R&D...

Using quantile regressions, this paper examines the possibility of significant nonlinear relationships between the profitability of Portuguese service small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and its specific determinants. The results lead to the conclusion that there is a significant...

This article uses quantile regressions to study the relationship between the growth of Portuguese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and its determinants. To control a sample selection bias, we use a two-step estimation. In the first stage, we verified that past growth, size, age, R&D...
