Firms having more than doubled their equity

The graphs below show the share of French firms (Figure 1) and English firms (Figure 2) with equity having more than doubled between 2003 and 2004 by age and level of equity in 2003.

These graphs show that the share of firms doubling their equity is about two times higher in the United Kingdom than in France. This difference is even more important for recently born companies and for companies with lower capital stock.
