Nishimura, Nakajima, and Kiyota (2005) analyze the entry/exit behavior patterns of Japanese firms during the 1990s and find that relatively efficient (high total factor productivity (TFP)) firms exited while relatively inefficient (low TFP) firms survived during the banking-crisis period of...

Nishimura et al. (2005) analyze the entry/exit behavior of Japanese firms during the 1990s and find that relatively efficient firms exited while relatively inefficient firms survived during the banking-crisis period of 1996-97. They conclude that the natural selection mechanism (NSM) apparently...

In this paper, we propose an evolutionary extension of Schumpeterian endogenous growth model with multi-sector by introducing the three types of natural selection: stabilizing selection, directional selection, and disruptive selection. Based on them, the survival of firms is determined in each...
