📂 Project: Business
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to explore the relationship between firm size and value distribution, and its implications in economic analysis.

Key Activities

  • Analyzed the mathematical relationship between firm size distribution and value distribution, emphasizing log transformations and log-normal distributions.
  • Revised captions for economic figures illustrating fluctuations in economic data at the firm level.
  • Discussed partitions in aggregate dynamics, focusing on equal weight and quantile partitions and their applications in economics.
  • Explored the impact of partitions on firm analysis, particularly in mitigating multiplicative shocks.
  • Investigated firm size distributions and fluctuations among French traders, emphasizing logarithmic scaling.
  • Explained the concept of logarithmically distributed variables, including lognormal and log Laplace distributions.
  • Discussed quantile partitions in economic analysis, focusing on agent size and aggregate dynamics.

Achievements

  • Clarified the significance of log transformations in understanding firm size and value distribution.
  • Revised economic figure captions to better illustrate firm-level fluctuations.
  • Highlighted the importance of partitions in analyzing complex economic systems.

Pending Tasks

  • Further analysis of sales at both individual firm and sectoral levels to understand the impact of multiplicative shocks.
  • Application of quantile partition methods to real economic data to validate theoretical insights.
