This paper studies the effect of product and process innovations on the creation of jobs in the Spanish manufacturing sector over the period 1991-2005. We also use a change in the Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) in 1997 to study the effect of innovations on permanent and temporary...

This paper studies the effect of product and process innovations on job creation in the Spanish manufacturing sector over the period 1991-2005. We use a change in the Employment Protection Legislation in 1997 to study the effect of innovations on permanent and temporary workers before and after...

This paper uses firm level data from Spanish manufacturing firms to provide evidence on the effect of human capital on the mobility of firms within the productivity distribution. We find that while larger and older firms are more prone to stay in the same relative position, human capital is an...

This paper presents evidence on the spillover effect associated with the support received by firms located in a City of Argentina, between 2003 and 2007. The rationale for the cluster development program was the presence of agglomeration economies and coordination failures that generated...

The current literature on firm dynamics considers the mobility of firms within the productivity distribution to be determined by exogenous random shocks. This paper evaluates human capital and learning by doing as possible factors determining the mobility once the exogenous shocks have taken...

We estimate the effects of knowledge spillovers on firms’ performance and workers’ wages. We use an innovation support program as an exogenous shock to the knowledge of non-participant firms and an employer-employee dataset to track the mobility of workers—and knowledge diffusion—between...
