AB This paper examines whether or not the relative importance of the firm and industryeffects in explaining performance variations is the same regardless of the firm size. In relation tosize, we think that there has been particular neglect of studying medium-sized firms separatelyfrom SMEs in general. That is why we study separately large, medium-sized and small firms.We also contribute to knowledge on the firm-industry debate testing empirically both effectsdistinguishing the firms by size according to a standard classification in the EU. Our results showthat the performances of large and small firms are mainly explained by the firm effect, albeitfor different reasons, while the performance of medium-sized firms is explained primarily bythe industry effect.
