A Note on the Stability of Firm Size Distribution Functions for Western Cattle Ranches

Author

Listed:
  • C. T. K. Ching

Abstract

Negative exponential functions adequately describe the size distribution of western cattle ranches. Further, these functions were found to be sufficiently stable over time to be used in projecting future size distributions of firms. As such, these exponential functions provide an attractive alternative to Markov type projections.
