In particular we show that: (1) as predicted by evolutionary theory, inventor productivity is a positive determinant of … invention value, (2) inter-firm mobility is a consistently positive determinant of productivity and (3) technological mobility …

Short-term increasing returns to production factors are usually found in empirical studies. We argue they can be due to omitted variables, particularly the intensity of factor utilisation. Thanks to original French firm-level data (1992-2008), we show how increasing returns to scale disappear...

equilibrium search model incorporating wage posting and specific human capital investment, where unemployment and the distribution … of both wages and productivity are endogenous. We estimate this model using French data. Numerical simulations show that … the prevailing minimum wage allows a high production level to be reached by increasing training investment, even though …
