“…The magnitude of this effect is determined by the size of the price reduction, the elasticity of demand and the reactions of competitors to the price reduction. Empirical evidence for this price effect is provided by König, Licht and Buscher (1995), Greenan and Guellec (2000), Smolny (2002) or Lachenmaier and Rottmann (2011) who all find significantly positive overall employment effects of process innovations.…”

“…Empirical evidence suggests that the combined effect of positive compensation effects and negative externalities due to cannibalisation and displacement effects is positive, resulting in employment growth at the firm level (Hall, Lotti and Mairesse 2008;Lachenmaier and Rottmann 2011;Harrison et al 2014) and also at the industry level when taking additional negative externalities due to business stealing into account (Bogliacino and Pianta 2010). Moreover, negative externalities from business stealing are considerably smaller than the positive spillovers from R&D activity, leading to positive gross social returns to R&D (Bloom, Schankerman and Van Reenen 2013).…”

Innovation, Creative Destruction and Structural Change: Firm-level Evidence from European Countries AbstractThe shift of employment from lower to higher productive firms is an important driver for structural change and industry dynamics. We investigate this reallocation in terms of employment gains and losses from innovation. New employment created by product innovation may be offset by employment losses in related products, known as 'cannibalisation' or 'business stealing' effects in the literature, by employment losses from process and organisational innovation and by general productivity increases. The paper investigates this effect empirically with a large dataset from the European Community Innovation Survey (CIS). We find that employment gains and losses increase with technology intensity of the sector. Hightechnology manufacturing shows the strongest employment gains and losses from innovation, followed by knowledge-intensive services, low-technology manufacturing and less knowledge-intensive services.The net contribution of innovation to employment growth is mostly positive, an exception being manufacturing industries in recession periods.JEL: O33, J23, C26, D2

“…Specifically, it may have a negative impact on job creation because it reduces the effect of labor input (Lachenmaier and Rottmann 2011). On the contrary, some studies showed that process innovation positively affects job creation, especially in the long run (Hong et al 2010).…”

Abstract:The rise in unemployment is an important and urgent task to be tackled for the growth of economy in Korea. Although prior studies have revealed some factors leading to the creation of employment, studies simultaneously considering various factors, such as small and medium enterprises' (SMEs') basic factors, technology innovation activities, innovation capabilities, and the government policies, have been limited. This study seeks to design an integrated model that focuses on both SME and government policy factors associated with the creation of new employment. For this, we use the Korea Innovation Survey (KIS) data on 2828 firms in the manufacturing industry in Korea for 2013-2015. Using the multivariate regression model, we identified the association of SME and the government policy factors on the creation of employment. We show that sales, product innovation, organization innovation, and the support program by the government contributed to the job creation, whereas a firm's age had a negative correlation with the creation of employment. The statistical results and discussion of our findings facilitate a better understanding of the association between various SMEs' factors and the creation of employment, and therefore, should help in designing better policies and strategies for employment growth.

“…Sofern die Etablierung eines neuen Produktes die Nachfrage stimuliert, kann dies auf betrieblicher Ebene zur Einstellung neuer Arbeitskräfte führen, wodurch mit einem positiven Beschäftigungseffekt zu rechnen ist. Wenn allerdings ein neues Produkt ein bestehendes Produkt ersetzt, kann dies auf betrieblicher Ebene zur Folge haben, dass neue Arbeitskräfte die bestehenden aufgrund steigender Anforderungsprofile ersetzen oder weniger Arbeitskräfte für die Produktion des neuen Produkts benötigt werden, was in einem nicht eindeutigen Beschäftigungseffekt, d. h. in einem positiven oder in einem negativen Beschäftigungseffekt, nach einer Produktinnovation mündet (Lachenmaier -Rottmann, 2007). Dehio et al (2005) zufolge können Beschäftigungsverluste, die aus der Einführung kostensenkender Prozessinnovationen resultieren, möglicherweise durch Umsatzsteigerungen kompensiert werden und sich entsprechend in der Belegschaftsgröße niederschlagen, weshalb auch bei Prozessinnovationen die "Richtung" des zu erwartenden Beschäftigungseffektes nicht eindeutig vorhersehbar ist.…”
