The figures are obtained from censuses of manufactures and industrial surveys for three years (one year in the 1960s, one year in the 1970s, and one year in the late 1980s or 1990) and five OECD countries (France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States).

It also contains a brief analysis of average firm size, relative productivity levels per size category and concentration ratios ..
