In the last decade there has been a growing interest in applying                evolutionary and ecological ideas from biology to the study of social           organization.  Such work, known as organizational ecology, focuses on           the determinants of births growth, and deaths of organizations.  This           study is designed to explain the changes in the population of firms in          the U.S. brewing industry over the past three centuries.  The foundings,        mergers, and disbandments of firms will be examined in terms of both the        dynamics internal to the population of brewing firms (e.g., competition         among firms) and environmental factors external to the industry (e.g.,          economic cycles).  Special attention will be paid to the effects of size        on the "liability of newness,"  the handicap that new firms operate             under.  The analysis will be carried out at the city, state, and                nation-wide levels.  This research will contribute to our understanding         of the nature of long-term structural change in an organizational               population.
