Abstract
With this paper we provide the first micro-level evidence on the linkage between firm complexity and volatility. By defining product complexity a la Hausmann and Hidalgo (2009), we find that a higher complexity level of a firm's product basket is associated to a reduction of its output fluctuations. This evidence is robust to the control for omitted variables, sample selection, and to the use of alternative volatility and complexity indicators....
