“…Accordingly, a one percent increase in lnrd leads to go up overall employment by 0,273 percent. Unlike Ansal and Cetindamar Karaomerlioglu (1999), this result is consistent with Van Reenen (1997), Aksoy ( 2009), Piva and Vivarelli ( 2004), Lachenmaier andRottmann (2011), Bogliacino, Piva &, Cirera and Sabetti (2016), Piva and Vivarelli (2017), Aydın (2018), and Okumu, Bbaale & Guloba (2019). However, this relationship is the inversed U-shape.…”

“…Unlike the previous studies, Ansal and Cetindamar Karaomerlioglu (1999) conclude that technology has clearly a negative impact on employment for the chemical and engineering industries over the period 1980-1993. Sumer (2018 shows that there would be significant losses in some occupational categories with routine tasks because of the process of Industry 4.0.…”

Technology has rapidly improved across the world. It has frequently been discussed whether technology creates employment in the literature. There are two different views on this issue. The first is the labor-friendly view that alleges technological innovation creates new job-area. The second is the labor-saving view that asserts technology substitutes capital to labor. This paper analyzes the impact of technology on employment at regional level for Turkey. The dataset covers over the period 2010-2017 for 12 regions at NUTS-I level. According to the results of the system GMM estimation, there is a remarkable nexus between R&D expenditure and overall, man employment, employment of higher education graduates, unlike woman employment. However, the nexus is the inversed U-shape and is clearer in employment of higher education graduates.

“…Although most mainstream economists subscribe to this view and reject any suggestion that technical progress is a possible cause of unemployment, international agencies started to express concerns from the early 1980s at the likely unemployment deepening effect of new technology in third world countries which had been largely passive recipients of such technologies. As has been shown elsewhere (for example Ansal et al 1999), the optimistic conclusion of neo-classical theory regarding the impact of new technology on employment is inconsistent with the realities in developing countries, at least in the short run. On the other hand, some initial studies (Fransman, 1984, Jacobson 1985 illustrated how adoption of new technology by East Asian producers of machine tools helped them to increase their market shares in world markets and with it the level of employment in the machine tool industries.…”

New Technology Introduction and Implementation: The Case of Paging Technology in the Ratlam Division of Indian Railways

Concomitant to the liberalisation policy and market reforms in India has been the issue of declining budgetary support for public sector organisations. Hitherto, Indian Railways, the biggest publicly‐owned enterprise, has largely been supported by the exchequer. Since the early 1990s, however, the Railways has had to operate increasingly as a commercial rather than a social organisation. One of the ways of improving efficiency is to introduce efficiency‐enhancing technologies. This paper is a case study of the introduction of paging technology to the Ratlam Division of Indian Railways. It describes the process of planning and implementation, the HRM implications of the adoption and how the process was successfully managed. It aims at shedding further light on the nature and the processes whereby technologies eventually gain company recognition and acceptance.

“…Turning our attention to the impact of trade over labor demand in a DC, the recent literature has recognized the failure of the traditional trade theory (expressed in the Heckscher-Ohlin (HO) and the 1 For examples on the ineffectiveness of compensation mechanisms in developing countries, see Karaomerlioglu and Ansal, 1999. They explain for instance that the first compensation mechanism concerned with employment in the capital goods sector is mostly inexistent in developing countries since they generally import their technologies rather than produce them locally. Therefore, the application of new technologies will not create substantial employment in the technology supplier sectors.…”

Globalization, Technological Change and Labor Demand: A Firm Level Analysis for Turkey

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper studies the interlinked relationship between globalization and technological upgrading in affecting employment and wages of skilled and unskilled workers in a middle income developing country. It exploits a unique longitudinal firm-level database that covers all manufacturing firms in Turkey over the 1992-2001 period. Turkey is taken as an example of a developing economy that, in that period, had been technologically advancing and becoming increasingly integrated with the world market. The empirical analysis is performed at firm level within a dynamic framework using a 2+2 equations model that depicts the employment and wage trends for skilled and unskilled workers separately. In particular, the System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM-SYS) procedure is applied to a panel dataset of about 15,000 firms. Our results confirm the theoretical expectation that developing countries face the phenomena of skill-biased technological change and skill-enhancing trade, both leading to increasing the employment and wage gap between skilled and unskilled workers. In particular, a strong evidence of a relative skill bias emerges: both domestic and imported technologies increase the relative demand for skilled workers more than the demand for the unskilled. "Learning by exporting" also appears to have a relative skill biased impact, while FDI imply an absolute skill bias.
