Innovation and employment in in patenting firms : deliverable for WP4 of the INNOVA MEASURE Project

This report explores the possible job creation effect of innovation activity. We analyze a unique panel dataset covering nearly 20,000 patenting firms from Europe over the period 2003-2012. The main outcome from the proposed GMM-SYS estimations is the labour-friendly nature of innovation, which we measure in terms of forward-citation-weighted patents. However, this positive impact of innovation is statistically significant only for firms in the high-tech manufacturing sectors, while not significant in low-tech manufacturing and services.
