Long-run drivers of growth for UK high technology firms

chapter
posted on 2023-06-09, 00:49 authored by Josh SiepelJosh Siepel, Marc Cowling, Alex Coad
Despite the importance of high technology firms to the global economy, relatively little is known about factors contributing to these firms’ long-run growth. We examine these factors using a unique longitudinal dataset combining two waves of detailed surveys of 345 UK high tech firms with performance data from UK official datasets. Overall we conclude that the early strategic decisions made by firms have long-run impacts on their subsequent growth, and we suggest that policy measures targeted at shortfalls faced by these firms may have positive long-term consequences.
