内容简介：
    The business groups (BGs) literature focuses on the financial performance of its affiliates, relative to non-affiliated firms in the same country. In this study we take a different approach, we focus on country-level performance outcomes and BG prevalence, both across countries and over time. We base our analysis on contrasting views of BGs provided by the institutional voids and entrenchment perspectives. We build a unique database by extracting estimates of BG prevalence for multiple countries between 1978 and 2012. We find that BGs tend to persist, consistent with the entrenchment view, but find no evidence that they limit country performance.
