In this paper it is argued that the size distribution of firms may largely be determined by institutional factors. This hypothesis is tested in an exploratory fashion by studying the evolution of the size distribution of firms over time in Sweden for a period spanning from teh late 1960s to the early 1990s. The data used is divided into finer size classes compared to most previous studies.
