An Inverse Relationship between Efficiency and Profitability According to Size of (Upper-)Austrian Firms? Some Further Tentative Results

Small Business Economics, 1993, vol. 5, issue 1, 22 pages

Abstract: This paper examines the relationships between profitability and firm size, and efficiency and firm size, based on firms in Upper Austria. There is considerable evidence suggesting that the average profitability of small enterprises exceeds that of large firms. However, productivity tends to be positively related to firm size. These empirical findings present something of a paradox. Copyright 1993 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
