It's pretty easy to find what you are looking for.
I don't think it's easy at all. A complex image with a lot of irregular
detail may require more vector data to represent than a bitmap.
Similarly an animation over multiple frames may require a lot of bitmaps
to represent it, but relatively few vectors, particularly with tweening.
There is no absolute answer to the efficiency of vector representation
versus bitmaps - it depends on what is being represented.
In general, many images can be represented with vector data more
concisely than bitmaps so vectors would be more compact.
The problem of flash for mobile is as much about politics and protecting
the Apple appstore than anything else -it seems to me that flash was a
threat by allowing apps to be produced bypassing Apples appstore.
Adobe has said for years that mobile platforms should use bitmaps to
conserve processor utilisation. The other real problem with flash is
that some developers use inefficient processing loops that eat up
processing power - I can often see it on my laptop when the fan suddenly
kicks in after I've launched a flash app.

That discusses runtime performance, not how big the data is. And it does
not provide any concrete research results. Just unscientific individual
observations.
I want concrete numbers that discuss how vector graphics impact the size
of the animation.
