Abstract: High rates of firm births and deaths are a pervasive phenomenon across industries and territories. Most studies have related the great turbulence at the fringe of practically all manufacturing industries to positive effects on the long run performance of industries. Our contribution analyses the relationship between business dynamics in manufacturing and the growth of total factor productivity in industries and regions. After a review of current literature on entry and exit, it is argued that most models are tailored to suit the processes observed in industries and regions that are near the technological frontier, and we propose a model that could be more representative of middle range economies such as Spain. The results show that both entry and exit rates contribute positively to the growth of total factor productivity in industries and in regions.
