This paper adds to the empirical literature on health as an important determinant of employment at older ages by exploring the role in the health-employment nexus of the wage rates of 50 to 64-year-old workers. To do so, we use individual-level panel data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and...

In this paper we investigate the patents role in the relationship between R&D activity, spillovers and employment at the firm level. A reduced form labour demand equation is estimated. R&D expenditures can account for both product and process innovation. The analysis is based upon a new dataset...

In this article, we analyse the microeconomic relationship between innovation and employment, using company data from the R&D Scoreboard for Europe covering 2000-2008. A reduced form labour demand equation is estimated. In the equation, R&D can account for both product and process innovation....

This article analyzes the microeconomic relation between innovation and employment, using company data from R&D Scoreboard for Europe covering 2000-2008. A reduced form equation in which R&D can account for both product and process innovation is estimated. The existence of non-constant...

This paper studies whether labor market mismatch played an important role for labor market dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic. We apply the framework of S¸ahin et al. (2014) to the US and the UK to measure misallocation between job seekers and vacancies across sectors until the third quarter...
