Abstract

This chapter discuss the properties of the realization-dependent density of firm’s sizes. We put together the different ingredients introduced in the previous chapters to analyze the extent to which the mean density of firm’s sizes, which has been the main topic of this book, is representative of the realized density of firm’s sizes in a given economy (i.e., a single realization).
