“…Research in innovation economics also points to the possibility of technologically induced unemployment, which might be especially relevant in the case of traditional industrial regions undergoing a period of disruptive structural change (Pianta 2005). …”

Studies conducted for the US have found a positive effect of human capital endowments on employment growth, with human capital endowments diverging at the same time. In contrast, studies for European countries have found convergence of human capital endowments. This paper tests these relationships for 99 Austrian districts for the observation period 1971-2011 by estimating how the presence of high-skilled employment affects total, low-skilled and high-skilled employment growth.To this end, OLS, fixed effects and first difference regressions are estimated. The results show continuous convergence of high-skilled employment which, however, slowed downed significantly since the 1990s. In contrast to previous studies, evidence for positive effects of high-skilled on total and low-skilled employment is only weak and varies over time. Furthermore, the results show that total and high-skilled employment in suburban areas grew faster than in other regions, while districts which bordered the Eastern Bloc were disadvantaged. Nevertheless, spatial neighbourhood effects within Austria are only weak.

“…Economic policies are provided with instruments to assure the recovery of jobs when technological change generates losses. Besides that, the negative effects of innovation in terms of job losses have been considered (Pianta, 2006). Tancioni and Simonetti (2002) developed macroeconomic models where they found different impacts for each country and each compensation mechanism, in those countries where there is a higher rate of investment in innovation activities, innovation in products is high.…”

“…Thus, technological change might generate both job 1 gains and losses. This effect depends on the dynamics behind innovation and factors such as the speed of adoption, industries and sectors affected, necessary skills, speed of adjustment in the employment which may lead to frictional or technological unemployment, creating mismatches in the job market (Pianta, 2006). Different empirical studies have tried to identify the impact and the effects of innovation on employment.…”

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

“…Pianta (2004) aponta que, se por um lado várias pesquisas foram feitas em torno da dinâmica relativa dos salários, focalizando os efeitos polarizadores da inovação, pouco foi feito com respeito ao impacto da atividade inovativa sobre os níveis absolutos de salário, na relação dos salários com os lucros ou ainda nas mudanças associadas nas horas de trabalho e preços.…”

“…Pianta (2004) exemplifica essa situação com a experiência holandesa de contenção no nível dos salários e extrema flexibilidade no mercado de trabalho, que culminou na maior criação de empregos, especialmente nas pequenas e médias empresas, mas que, por outro lado, isso foi feito aliado a um baixo crescimento de produtividade. Nesse caso, num outro trabalho, Kleinknecht (2003) enumera essa perda: a taxa de crescimento de produtividade por hora de trabalho naquele país foi metade da média européia, o que fez levantar questões sobre a viabilidade da política no longo prazo.…”
