Employment and Technological Innovation: Evidence from U.K. Manufacturing Firms
利用英国企业层面的面板数据，在控制固定效应、动态性和内生性后，发现技术创新对就业有持续多年的正向显著影响，而行业溢出效应、工资和工会力量的作用不大。
This article uses British firm-level panel data on actual innovative activity drawn from different statistical sources to identify the effect of technical change on jobs. Previous work tends to find positive associations of proxies for technical change and employment but such studies suffer from various statistical drawbacks. In this study, even when one controls for fixed effects, dynamics, and endogeneity, innovations have a positive and significant effect on employment, which persists over several years. There seems to be little direct role for spillover effects from industry innovations or any role for industry wages or union power. Copyright 1997 by University of Chicago Press.
