Abstract
This note embeds an O-ring production function of Kremer (1993) into the standard Lucas (1978) model of firm size distribution. We show that an increase in the stock of human capital can raise average firm size. Empirical evidence confirms this finding. These findings help explain the positive relationship between average firm size and development documented in the recent literature.
