Abstract:
Our paper aims to participate to the growing policy discussion on high-growth firms (HGFs) by analyzing persistence of high growth patterns over crisis. During downturn periods, such as post pandemic one, policy makers seek sources to maintain competitiveness and accelerate growth. Being dynamic players in economic growth and job creation, persistent high-growth firms are notable candidates for assuming that role under such circumstances. Therefore, in this study we explore the determinants and characteristics of HGFs and persistent high-growth firms (PHGF) in a crisis scenario.We use a sample of 190,247 firms from 2007 to 2014. We estimate a multinomial probit model with independent idiosyncratic components across the different categories (i.e. HGFs, PHGFs and other firms) using full maximum likelihood. In a second phase we explore which characteristics of HGFs affect the probability of being a PHGFs.HGFs are characterized by higher productivity and leverage, and PHGFs systematically differ from other HGFs only in what regards degree of international involvement. HGFs probability of maintaining high growth rates is very low.HGFs are essentially one-hit wonders and it is debatable whether policymakers can enhance economic results by targeting them. Policy makers should be directed towards those firms which have in principal the potential to be winners, but only through policy intervention these aided firms can realize their great potential (i.e. pick and build winner).

Abstract:
This exploratory research note investigates the frequency and activity of HighGrowth Firms (HGFs) in Peru using panel data on Peru's largest firms for the years 2001-2016. Firms in our dataset enjoyed strong growth in revenues during the period. Compared to other countries, HGFs are relatively common in Peru although the share they represent of all firms in the database decreased over the time span of our analysis. We confirm several previous findings, such as the heavy-tailed growth rates distribution, and the superior growth performance of small and young firms.

Abstract:
The importance of high-growth entrepreneurship is widely acknowledged. Previous studies, however, have shown that only a few rapidly growing firms manage to sustain their growth trajectory over long periods. This paper addresses high-growth entrepreneurship in the Scania region of Sweden. The authors analyse a sample of high-growth firms and find that only a minority exhibit sustained high growth. They also compare sustainable high-growth firms with temporary high-growth firms, using unique data about their innovation and R&D activities. The analysis shows that sustainable high-growth firms are more often involved in activities aimed at developing and improving existing production processes, and are also less committed to international operations in new foreign markets. The results can be used to advise policy makers on how to understand and support high-growth entrepreneurship in regional innovation systems.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to explore the governance structures in high-growth firms – “Gazelles”. We analyse and compare 865 high-growth firms and 396 SMEs in Norway. The data reveals that high-growth firms differ from average SMEs on several core characteristics. They are smaller and younger, and have more owners and larger boards than the average SME. The analysis shows that high-growth firms are a special case where owners and managers appear to have shared interests, and the strategic and advisory role of the board are thus more important than the monitoring role. This knowledge is useful both for understanding high-growth firms as a particular context, and for how corporate governance systems may have different functions in different types of firms

Abstract:
High-growth firms provide a substantial stake in the national economy growth and supply job creation. Research of gazelle stability, allocation and success play an essential role in understanding the manufacturing and economic growth overall. The paper aims to present the results of high-growth firms analysis in the Russian transport sector. The authors propose the high-growth firms’ detection methods based on accounting data and analyze the allocation of high-growth firms according to the sectors ( railway and highway transport) and by federal districts of Russia. The authors define total revenue trends of high-growing firms comparing with ordinal firms and inside transport sectors. This study pays special attention to the evaluation of the further high-growth firms’ success in 2016-18. The most common phenomenon of high-growth firms is sacrificing the profit to achieve an accelerated growth rate.

Abstract:
This study characterizes high-growth New Zealand-owned firms operating in business-to-business relationships. Within a case study design featuring six such firms, four dimensions emerged that captured their key features: founders' characteristics; opportunity orientation; opportunity exploitation; and the management of growth. All the firms had joint founders who brought complementary skills and maintained external advice networks. The growth opportunities leveraged innovations of other firms. Exploitation was in niche areas in which there were both few competitors and small numbers of larger customers, facilitating intensive relationship marketing. The founders managed the businesses by developing a pro-growth culture among employees, but supported this through strong financial control systems and low debt preference. The lack of evidence on the characteristics of this important group of firms has contributed to poorly targeted policy. This paper begins to redress this situation.

Abstract:
In this article, we investigate the distinguishing features of fast growing firms in the Pakistani textile and apparel sectors. We find that the distribution of firm growth- both in terms of employment and sales - is very heavily skewed toward the right-tail, confirming earlier findings that firm growth is generated by a very small number of firms. We found that small and young companies grow faster and generate higher employment. We also used various indicators of a firm’s innovation behavior and found that more innovative firms grow faster. Our results suggest that it is not the possession of individual attributes, but rather a combination of particular firm attributes that defines fast growing firms. Specifically, we found that the blend of being small, young and innovative explains the fast growth in firms. on overall these companies also create more jobs.

Abstract:
Given the high percentage of turnover invested in R&D, the cost structure and segmentation of investment in high-tech firms necessitate regular review of resource allocation. For high-tech firms, the vital importance of innovation management is one of the building stones of a successful business. The key question remains how innovations can be managed throughout the S-curve of technological performance from the strategic point of view? The aim of this study is to capture an innovation framework for high-tech firms enabling them to actualize the value of technological breakthroughs based on a case study. The author's results are performance-driven. She will address some of the causes behind a technological failure along with its impact on the firm's profit margins. Based on the management insights of her case company, the author sees that innovation policies in high-tech companies can be dissected into four main management phases: sources, formulation, execution and maintenance. New research opportunities are opened in the performance review of technological innovations for listed companies.

Abstract:
The past twenty years have seen an increasing level of importance attached to rapidly growing "high growth firms" (HGFs) within the academic and policy-making communities. However, despite decades of research, our knowledge about how these firms achieve such strong performance remains limited. The literature is dominated by studies seeking to correlate firm characteristics with growth, rather than attempting to explore the nature of rapid firm growth itself. This thesis contributes to the high growth firm literature by exploring the process of rapid firm turnover growth, specifically at the impact that customer perceived value has on firm performance. Drawing on data collected from a large scale questionnaire and Critical Incident Technique interviews, this thesis presents a number of important findings. It identifies the important role played by critical events or key "trigger points" in firm growth and provides a conceptualisation of this firm growth process. This process emphasises that the manner in which a trigger is sensed, seized and managed is of greater significance than the trigger itself. Competencies such as a propensity for risk-taking, a focus on strategic planning and operational flexibility are identified to be of particular importance to successfully capitalise on critical trigger points. This thesis also explores at length firm-level competencies and firm-customer interactions that help to facilitate customer perceived value creation. At the firm-level, the data demonstrates that high growth firms exhibit strongly customer-centric ideologies, significant operational flexibility and a propensity for learning. At the firm-customer interaction level, high growth firms demonstrate significant competencies, such as engaging deeply with customers and participating in co-creation activities. These competencies allow HGFs to have a significant influence on customer perceived value creation, which in turn has a positive effect on firm performance through higher repeat purchases and referrals. These competencies differentiate HGFs from their more moderately-performing counterparts.

Abstract:
Entrepreneurship is the force that drives economic, social and technical progress. A small percentage of firms (5%) is responsible for a disproportionately large amount of net job creation (>50%). Named high growth firms, these successful enterprises have been in the spotlight of research looking into the key drivers of firm growth and growth policy. This dissertation explores high growth from multiple perspectives: at the level of the firm, by understanding how the definition of a high growth firm impacts its characteristics and expected performance over time; at the local level, by isolating the effect of political connections of firm performance and firm entry; and at the macro level, by observing the evolution of entrepreneurship during transition. The first study finds that most HGFs are unable to maintain high growth rates for long, but do register lower volatility in growth rates and a higher chance of survival. Results on growth volatility and persistence vary significantly with the specific definition of “high growth” used as well as with the specific variable used to measure growth (e.g., revenue, employees, profit, productivity). These findings have direct implications for growth policies and programs that depend on identifying HGFs. The second study indicates a strong significant effect of political alignment on revenue growth and firm entry. Larger firms take advantage of political connections for performance gains, while small firms are negatively impacted. Furthermore, alignment reduces entry into entrepreneurship by 8-11%. These findings establish political alignment and local-level business-politics collusion as important dynamics to consider when evaluating entrepreneurship policy in developing countries. The third study describes the interdependence between entrepreneurship, institutions, and transitions. The case of Romania shows that the beginning of transition was characterized by an initial explosion of newly created private enterprises, followed by a declining trend in enterprise creation and, recently, by a new increase in entrepreneurship activity. To conclude, this work contributes new perspectives towards a better understanding of high growth firms and growth policy. Policy implications are targeted towards transition and developing economies that have seen little representation in literature. The goal is to enable successful high growth policies across multiple levels.

This thesis is about firm dynamics, and relates to the size and growth-rate distribution of firms. As such, it consists of an introductory and four separate chapters. The first chapter concerns the size distribution of firms, the two subsequent chapters deal more specically with high-growth firms (HGFs), and the last chapter covers a related topic in distributional estimation theory. The first three chapters are empirically oriented, whereas the fourth chapter develops a statistical concept.

Abstract:
Acquisitions are a powerful tool to achieve growth, enter new markets, and expand capabilities. Yet research into the decision to acquire, and its implementation process, has predominantly focused on large established firms. Little is known about what a small high-growth firm requires to pursue an acquisition, what is it looking for in a target firm and when is acquisitive growth first expected to occur. The firms were not older than five years, and at a company stage at, or earlier than, series A funding round. The investigation revealed that small high-growth firms require organizational strategies, available resources and organizational systems. These types of firms are looking for targets that can provide knowledge, human resources and customer bases.  The earliest moment a small high-growth firm expects to acquire a target is in the seed round, only if the target has a low price and could bring a lot of value, otherwise the series A funding stage is when an acquisition will most likely take place. This observation opens the door to new ideas regarding how such firms may try to behave like large firms, yet are restricted in their capacity, due to a conscious lack of resources to do so.

O presente trabalho pretende estudar a persistência das empresas de alto crescimento e as suas características, através da recolha de todas as empresas portuguesas presentes na base de dados Amadeus, durante um período de dez anos, dividimos o conceito de empresas de elevado crescimento em empresas de elevado crescimento de volume de negócios e empresas de elevado crescimento de empregados, para responder à pergunta se as empresas assim classificadas num determinado período do tempo, seriam capazes de manter taxas de crescimento elevado para vários períodos e se as suas características permaneceriam estáveis ao longo do tempo. O período de análise foi dividido em sete subperíodos. Notou-se que, a maioria das empresas que foram classificadas como de empresas de alto crescimento no primeiro período não foram capazes de manter este estatuto no período seguinte.
The purpose of this work is to analyze the growth persistence of high-growth firms and their profile characteristics, by collecting data of all the Portuguese firms present on Amadeus database for a ten-year period (i.e. from 2006 to 2015), We divided the high-growth concept in two versions ("employment high-growth firms" and "turnover high-growth firms") to answer the question if firms that were qualified as high-growth firm in a certain period of time, would be able to maintain the high growth rates for multiple periods and whether their profile characteristics would remain stable over time. The analysis period was divided into seven sub-periods. It was noted that most companies that were classified as of high growth firms in the first period were not able to maintain this level in the following period.

Abstract:
The topic of this thesis is economic dynamism. The five articles contribute to the literature on firm entry and firm growth. Studies are based on a dataset covering all Swedish limited liability firms between 1997 and 2010. The first article investigates conditions for firm entry in Sweden, distinguishing regular entrants from entrants that survive for at least two years, modelling the firm entry decision using count data models. While high income and a well-educated population had a positive effect, the effect was more important for surviving entrants. The second article uses a similar method, but focuses on wholesale industries and distinguishes between regular entry and in migration of firms, i.e. when an incumbent firm relocates its operations. Access to a university, many educated workers and low local taxes had positive effects. Better access to infrastructure had a strong positive effect on entrants, but it was smaller for in-migrating firms. The third article investigates if the industry context matters for whether Gibrat’s law holds, i.e. whether firm growth is independent of firm size. The law is found more likely to be rejected in industries with a high minimum efficient scale and a large number of firms located in metropolitan areas, but more likely to hold in industries with high market concentration and more group ownership. The fourth and fifth article contribute to the high-growth firms (HGFs) literature. In the fourth article it is examined whether the way HGFs are defined matters for the policy implications. It is found that the economic contributions of HGFs differ significantly depending on definition. Young firms are however more likely to be HGFs irrespective of definition. The fifth article considers the frequent argument that policymakers should target high-tech firms, i.e., firms with high R&D intensity, because such firms are thought more likely to become HGFs. We examine this assumption by studying the industry distribution of HGFs. Results indicate that industries with high R&D intensity, ceteris paribus, can be expected to have a lower share of HGFs than can industries with lower R&D intensity. By contrast, we find that HGFs are overrepresented in service industries with a high share of human capital.

Abstract:
Abstract. It is evident that high-growth firms are getting attention from the researchers. But there is still a gap in defining high-growth firms as there is scattered data available for defining high-growth firms with respect to its characteristics. The purpose of this study is to find out the inner qualities of high growth firms that differentiate them from other firms due to which, it is called high-growth firms. Previous researches have mainly focused on high-growth firms with respect to job creation only. Also, researches have emphasized on the firm-specific features of high-growth firms such as size, age, and industry. As high growth firms play an important role to support economic growth and raise the employment level in the country so it is very important to further research on it due to which it stands out as compared to other companies in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This research is a qualitative study. Data is gathered by semi-structured interviews. All the interviewees were personnel from Finnish high-growth firms and had several years of experience in their field. In this study, internal characteristics are highlight based on the contemporary literature such as the growth vision: the identified opportunities or needs: the strategic management, partnerships or the inter-organizational relations,innovation and R&D, capabilities, entrepreneurial teams: entrepreneur characteristics, and human resource management practices: human capital. From the finding of the research Finnish high-growth firms in the metropolitan area have similar internal features which help the firms to grow. Moreover, there are some features which are also positively correlated such as 1) entrepreneurial teams and entrepreneur characteristics, 2) entrepreneurial teams, human capital, and Strategic management, 3) human resource management practices and human capital, and 4) partnerships or inter-organizational relations, capabilities and identified opportunities. Hence, it is empirically proven that High-growth firms possess these characteristics and some are positively correlated to each other. Further, the findings of the study are similar to the extant literature. The limitations and future studies are also discussed.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between venture capital and the number of high growth firms. Previous research has covered the relation at the firmlevel where the positive effect of venture capital on innovation, firm growth and economic growth has been established. However, the research field have been lacking a more aggregated approach. With a fixed effects panel regression with the number of high growth firms as the dependent variable and the amount of venture capital as the key independent variable, this study is conducted at the country-level with a panel of 20 countries. The study yield no significant results except the positive effect of GDP per capita. The conclusion is that the data available today is not ready for this level of aggregation as it captures to much noise with regards to other factors affecting firm growth in a country. Growth in employment might also be an outdated proxy to measure firm growth as today's modern firms are not as dependent on a large number of employees to scale as in the past.
Målet med denna studie är att undersöka relationen mellan riskkapital och snabbväxande företag. Tidigare studier har undersökt relationen på företagsnivå där riskkapitalets positiva effekt på innovation, firmatillväxt och ekonomisk tillväxt har påvisats. Dock har forskningsfältet saknat ett tillvägagångssätt på en mer aggregerad nivå. Med en fixed effects-modell applicerad på paneldata med en beroende variabel bestående av antalet snabbväxande företag och en oberoende variabel bestående av mängden riskkapital, undersöks relationen på landnivå med ett urval av 20 länder. Studien visar inga signifikanta resultat bortsätt från kontrollvariabeln BNP per capita som är positiv och signifikant. Slutsatsen i arbetet är att den data som finns tillgänglig idag inte är mogen för studier på en aggregerad landnivå då brus i form av andra faktorer som påverkar snabbväxande företag i ett land fångas upp. Företagstillväxt mätt i tillväxt i antalet anställda i ett företag kan även vara en föråldrad metod. Dagens moderna företag präglade av affärsmodeller som inte kväver arbetskraft för att skala upp verksamheten på samma sätt som företag traditionellt gjort historiskt.

Abstract:
AbstractThanks to the increasing availability of granular, yet high-dimensional, firm level data, machine learning (ML) algorithms have been successfully applied to address multiple research questions related to firm dynamics. Especially supervised learning (SL), the branch of ML dealing with the prediction of labelled outcomes, has been used to better predict firms’ performance. In this chapter, we will illustrate a series of SL approaches to be used for prediction tasks, relevant at different stages of the company life cycle. The stages we will focus on are (1) startup and innovation, (2) growth and performance of companies, and (3) firms’ exit from the market. First, we review SL implementations to predict successful startups and R&D projects. Next, we describe how SL tools can be used to analyze company growth and performance. Finally, we review SL applications to better forecast financial distress and company failure. In the concluding section, we extend the discussion of SL methods in the light of targeted policies, result interpretability, and causality.

Abstract:
High-growth firms deserve a relevant role in the ‘real-word’ economy: many scholars have proved that these firms create employment, wealth, and economic growth. For example, in the US, the ‘gazelles’ (i.e., firms in the highest percentiles of the growth rate distribution) account for the largest part of the total increase in the employment rate, although they represent only a very small share of all companies (Birch, 1987). Many scholars have also suggested and proved that firm growth creates employment, wealth and general economic development (e.g. Birch, 1979), so that by understanding high-growth firms, researchers may better understand the features involved with growth and success in general

Abstract:
This paper studies ways to support sustainable growth in high technology small firms by managing innovation. The paper examines technology based and knowledge intensive business service firms (KIBS) and their innovation management in Finland. The goal is to find at least one meaningful innovation process for a small KIBS firm that takes growth into consideration. In the paper incremental, radical, disruptive, open and systemic innovation are seen from small KIBS firm perspective a model that combines these types of innovation is presented. Two cases of small technology based small KIBS firms are also selected to closer examination.

Abstract:
This paper examines the policy program in the Netherlands that aimed to improve the conditions for knowledge valorization in the life sciences. The Netherlands is an interesting case to study because the country hosts one of the largest numbers of newly established firms in the life sciences in the EU, while growth in this segment has remained limited due to a large share of small and vulnerable firms. The target number of newly established firms set in the program could easily be achieved and the program was able to improve the business climate for new firm establishment. However, the program could not improve conditions for growth of new firms because it could not achieve a comprehensive turn in the business climate, due to the short cycle-time of the program (4/5 years). In addition, the program did not take advantage of existing critical mass in the largest cluster or from any other competitive strength of particular clusters. However, regional competitive strength is now increasingly enhanced by regional initiatives.

Karami, Azhdar. "An investigation on environmental scanning and growth strategy in high tech small and medium sized enterprises." In 16th Annual High Technology Small Firms Conference, HTSF 2008. University of Twente, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.3990/2.268580687.

Full text
Abstract:
The idea that environmental scanning can be a key factor to sustained competitive advantage calls for the integration of business strategy and environment. Not surprisingly, environmental scanning is widely viewed as the first step in the process linking strategy and environment. The main debate in strategy and environment is nowadays concerned with the primary importance of environmental scanning to strategy formulation and implementation. More specially, effective scanning of the environment is seen as necessary to the successful alignment of competitive strategies with environmental requirements and the achievement of outstanding performance in SMEs. This paper explores the above relationship in the British electronic manufacturing industry. It is based on the empirical evidence and the findings of a survey of 132 Chief Executive Officers’ (CEO) views on environmental scanning and strategy in SMEs. It is concluded that, there is a significant relationship between increasing the environmental scanning of the firm, and the success of the firm’s performance in small and medium sized manufacturing firms in electronic industry. Accordingly, because of dynamic aspect of electronic industry, obtaining information on several aspects of environmental sectors facilitates alignment between business strategy and environment.

Garnsey, Elizabeth, Paul P. Hwang, and Erik Stam. "The growth and exit of university and corporate spinouts in the medical instrumentation industry." In 16th Annual High Technology Small Firms Conference, HTSF 2008. University of Twente, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.3990/2.268578021.

Full text
Abstract:
Incubator organizations are said to exert a long term influence on their spin-outs. However, there is a great diversity in the types of spin-outs (Druilhe and Garnsey, 2004) and in types of incubators (Clarysse, Wright et al., 2005). This diversity is likely to affect the influence of the incubator on the performance of the spin-out. To contrast the impact on (similar) spin out firms of their very different originating organizations we compare two instrumentation spin-outs, one from Cambridge University and one from a technology consultancy firm in the same region. We go on to examine the evolution of the business models of these spinouts, their growth experience and exit routes of founders and investors. The central question is how the incubator organization affects the development path taken in the early life course of their spin-outs. We find that although university or corporate origin exerts path dependent influence on the early development of these firms, the problems they face in scaling up are similar and largely unrelated to their origins. Critical problems arose from the shift in target market from technophile and early adopters to more mainstream customers as they moved from customized to standardized products, characterised by very different purchasing decisions of customers. Likewise the contrasting exit routes of founders and investors (trade sale and IPO) related to factors independent of the originating organization. We conclude that the business development of spin-outs can only be partly understood through a focus on their incubator organizations; their products and markets are of much greater impact on their development. However we found a shared set of influences on business model evolution, relationship with customers and exit pressures on the spin out companies, in that these were all shaped by knowledge networks and brokers of various kinds as the spinouts moved out of the orbit of their originators to create a network of new relationships on which their performance depended. The incubator organization undoubtedly exerts an influence. However, this influence is indirect, in shaping the networks that the founders have built up or have access to via the incubator organization. Over time the spin-out co-evolves with an expanding network of relationships. Especially in a knowledge-rich environment such as that surrounding Cambridge, the initial disadvantage of university spin-outs (due to less industry experience and networks) in comparison to corporate spinouts is less of a constraint. This shows that the direct influence of the incubator organization is relatively small, but that the networks that are developed from, and extended beyond those formed in the incubator organization are key enabling factors in the growth of these spin-outs.

Full text
Abstract:
University spin-off firms are believed to contribute to innovation of the (regional) economy through entrepreneurship, knowledge transfer and linkages with larger firms. Social networks play a vital role in the early years of spin-off firms, but there is virtually no knowledge on the critical characteristics of these networks, and on differences between highly innovative and medium-to-low innovative spin-offs in this respect. First, we highlight theoretical viewpoints on social network formation, Next, we discuss the methodological aspects of the empirical study. This is followed by a comparative descriptive analysis of social networks and two separate estimations of job growth for highly innovative spin-offs (HIS) and medium-to-low innovative spin-offs (MLIS). The results indicate an overall smaller role of social networks for HIS, as well as a different role of strength of relationships and importance of local partners for HIS compared with MLIS.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper draws together three strands of literature, that on clustering, entrepreneurship and international business, examining the relationship between these three in promoting firm formation and growth within clusters. The evidence drawn on includes econometric models based on the unique International Trade in Services Film and Television dataset, an in-depth interview survey and questionnaire survey. The key conclusions are firstly that strong clusters promote entrepreneurship, which in turn promotes cluster strength in a self-reinforcing dynamic. Secondly, some firms are better able than others to benefit from cluster location due to superior firm competencies and absorptive capacity. Thirdly, cluster strength and internationalization are mutually reinforcing. Cluster strength contributes to the ability of entrepreneurial firms to expand overseas via export sales, licensing and FDI. Evidence is presented which indicates firms have greater intensity of export and import activity if they have resource-strengths, some of which are derived from their membership of a strong cluster. Strong clusters also attract multinationals and in the case of the London media cluster, although those multinationals appear somewhat less embedded than non-MNEs, they are nevertheless quite strongly embedded. This means that there is a second important feedback loop as spillovers from MNEs to local firms enhances cluster strength which attracts further multinationals. The acquisition of high performing firms by overseas MNEs does not appear to have reduced either their performance or their embeddedness in the cluster. Fourthly, the nature of internationalization strategies are conditioned by firm and industry characteristics. In particular, the extent to which tacit knowledge is embodied in a product emerges as being influential in terms of the decision of which internationalisation mode to use. Finally, the resource-based view of the firm emerges as a useful integrative framework for understanding the interplay between clusters, entrepreneurship and internationalisation strategies.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper studies the international entrepreneurial orientation of rapidly internationalizing services firms (RISFs) and its relationship to three of their foreign market activities. Using multiple case studies we explore the research question: How does the international entrepreneurial orientation of rapidly internationalizing service firms affect their foreign market entry, market penetration, and growth? We build on entrepreneurship and international services literature to develop our research question that leads to the advancement of seven propositions as a foundation for further research. Three entrepreneurial orientation elements were investigated, of which proactiveness and innovativeness seemed to have the strongest links to RISF foreign activities. The analysis also uncovered interesting insights about RISF innovativeness some of which contradict extant services literature. Our paper makes three contributions: it provides empirical insights about RISFs, addressing a historical shortage of international services firm studies; it answers calls for further research in this area; it introduces an empirical analysis on service firm innovativeness at an international level, lending weight to similar future studies. We separately hope our research contributes to International Entrepreneurship research via our results linking RISF foreign activities and international entrepreneurial orientation.

Abstract:
How does the expansion of domestic banks in international markets affect the bank lending channel of monetary policy? Using bank-firm loan-level data, we find that loan growth and loan rates from international banks respond less to monetary policy changes than domestic banks and that internationalization partially mitigates the risk-taking channel of monetary policy. Banks with a large international presence tend to tolerate more their credit risk exposition relative to domestic banks. Moreover, international banks tend to rely more on foreign funding when policy rates change, allowing them to insulate better the monetary policy changes from their credit supply than domestic banks. This result is consistent with the predictions of the internal capital markets hypothesis. We also show that macroprudential FX regulation reduces banks with high FX exposition access to foreign funding, ultimately contributing to monetary policy transmission. Overall, our results suggest that the internationalization of banks lowers the potency of the bank lending channel. Furthermore, it diminishes the risk-taking channel of monetary policy within the limit established by macroprudential FX regulations.
