Further knowledge about the dynamics of these firms can inform the design of business support policies, especially toward small and medium-size firms. The analysis suggests that between 1999 and 2015, about 9 to 10.5 percent of the firms in Tunisia achieved high-growth status per year, on average, depending on the definition used, and these shares have been remarkably stable over time. Although a small share of firms achieves high growth annually, almost one in every three firms that survive for more than a decade has achieved high-growth status at least once. High-growth status is more prevalent among small and young firms, as well as firms that export, import, or receive foreign direct investments. 2020-02-13T16:50:03Z 2020-02-13T16:50:03Z 2020-02 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/997141581350998824/The-Dynamics-of-High-Growth-Firms-Evidence-from-Tunisia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33321 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9145 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Middle East and North Africa Tunisia
