“…This shows that the heterogeneity regarding employment decisions that we observe for the manufacturing industry, is still apparent even after disaggregating at narrowly defined industries. The same result has been found for some other countries (see Davis and Haltiwanger (1992), Konings (1995) and Greenan and Guellec (1997) among others). Job creation ranges from 0.8 percent in iron steel and metal to 6.8 percent in plastic materials; job destruction from 4.0 percent in other non-basic industries to 7.3 percent in food, tobacco and drinks; and job reallocation varies from 5.3 percent in iron steel and metal to 13.0 percent in office machinery.…”

“…The contributions in this line for other countries are numerous. We can mention, among others, Konings (1995) and Blanchflower and Burgess (1996) for the UK, Greenan and Guellec (1997) for France, and Dolado and Gómez (1995), Díaz-Moreno and Galdón-Sánchez (2000), and Ruano (2000) for Spain. Although all these contributions exploit longitudinal data, they differ notably in the level of data disaggregation, in the length of the sample period, and in the data coverage.…”

“…These authors find that although process innovation displaces employment, compensation effects from product innovation seem to dominate, albeit with some differences across countries. 2 Greenan and Guellec (2000), also combining firm-level panel data with innovation surveys, find that innovating firms (and industries) have created more jobs than non-innovating ones. Piva and Vivarelli (2005), combining different surveys by Mediocredito-Capitalia from 1992-1997, build a balanced panel of 575 Italian Manufacturing firms and find a small but significant positive relation between innovative investments and employment.…”

Italian manufacturing firms have been losing ground with respect to many of their European competitors. This paper presents some empirical evidence on the effects of innovation on employment growth and therefore on firms' productivity with the goal of understanding the roots of such poor performance. We use firm level data from the last three surveys on Italian manufacturing firms conducted by Mediocredito-Capitalia, which cover the period 1995-2003. Using a modified version of the model proposed by Harrison, Jaumandreu, Mairesse and Peters (2005), which separates employment growth rates into those associated with old and new products, we provide robust evidence that there is no employment displacement effect stemming from process innovation. The sources of employment growth during the period are split equally between the net contribution of product innovation and the net contribution from sales growth of old products. However, the contribution of product innovation is somewhat lower than that for the four comparison European countries considered by Harrison et al. (2005), which separates employment growth rates into those associated with old and new products, we provide robust evidence that there is no employment displacement effect stemming from process innovation. The sources of employment growth during the period are split equally between the net contribution of product innovation and the net contribution from sales growth of old products. However, the contribution of product innovation is somewhat lower than that for the four comparison European countries considered by Harrison et al. Keywords

“…These authors found for some European countries in the late 1990s job losses in the manufacturing industry due to technological change; because of an active price competitiveness strategy, technological efforts were associated to restructuring and the market expansion effect of new products was modest. Greenan and Guellec (2000) states that for France, at the firm level, process innovation creates more jobs than product innovation while the opposite occurs at the sectoral level. However, innovative firms perform better than the others on the medium-run.…”

Innovation and Its Effects on Employment Composition: Microeconomic Evidence from Colombian Firms

This study analyses the effects of innovation on employment in Colombian firms for the manufacturing and service sectors in two different periods: 2007-2010 for the manufacturing industry, and 2010-2011 for the service industry. Based on the theoretical framework proposed by Harrison et al. (2014), we test this relationship using instrumental variables techniques. Data proceed from The Annual Manufacturing Survey, The Development and Technological Innovation Industrial Survey, and The Development and Technological Innovation Services Survey, all of them collected by the Colombian National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE).Our empirical results show that sales growth due to new products positively affects employment growth, and process innovation has not a displacement effect on employment growth. This is robust to different specifications and the inclusion of control variables.JEL Classification: O31, O33
