The effect of learning by hiring on productivity
利用1995-2005年丹麦雇主-雇员数据，研究企业间劳动力流动如何通过知识转移提升雇佣企业的生产率，发现招聘知识型员工可使企业增加值提高1%-2%。
This article focuses on the phenomenon of interfirm labor mobility as a potential channel for knowledge transfer. Using data from the Danish employer‐employee register covering the period 1995–2005, we investigate how knowledge carriers—technicians and highly educated workers recruited from a donor firm—contribute to knowledge diffusion and enhanced productivity in the hiring (recipient) firm. Structural estimation of the hiring firms' production functions shows that the impact of the recruitment of knowledge carriers on a firm's value added is an increase of 1%–2%. Several robustness checks confirm this finding .
