This paper investigates the presence of explicit labour-saving heuristics within robotic patents. It analyses innovative actors engaged in robotic technology and their economic environment (identity, location, industry), and identifies the technological fields particularly exposed to...

In the context of demographic changes and active aging in the workplace, managing age diversity contributes to creating new perspectives across the entire field of human resource management. The main objective of this paper is to determine the impact of appropriate working conditions and...

Bullying cannot be tolerated as a normal social behavior portraying a child's life. This paper quantifies its negative consequences allowing for the possibility that victims and nonvictims differ in unobservable characteristics. To this end, we introduce a factor analytic model for identifying...

We analyze the economic returns to different postsecondary degrees in Chile. We posit a schooling decision model with unobserved ability, observed test scores and labor market outcomes. We benefit from administrative records to carry out our empirical strategy. Our results show positive average...

El acceso a la información sobre las competencias demandadas por las empresas puede realizarse mediante un estudio prospectivo de las ofertas de empleo publicadas por los empleadores. Ahora bien, éstas incluyen una gran cantidad de datos de naturaleza cuantitativa y cualitativa, pero...

This paper proposes an empirical study of the skill repertoires of 290 sectors in the United States over the period 2002–2011. We use information on employment structures and job content of occupations to flesh out structural characteristics of industry-specific know-how. The exercise of...

This paper investigates the presence of explicit labour-saving heuristics within robotic patents. It analyses innovative actors engaged in robotic technology and their economic environment (identity, location, industry), and identifies the technological fields particularly exposed to...

This paper provides a direct understanding of the twin transition from the innovative activity domain. It starts with a technological mapping of the technological innovations characterised by both climate change mitigation/adaptation (green) and labour-saving attributes. To accomplish the task,...

Using principal components analysis (PCA) and hierarchal clustering, I classify all professional basketball players in the NBA since the 2000-01 season and observe their classification transitions under a Markov transition matrix framework. Player attributes—including shot type and location...

This paper analyses determinants of labour productivity observed on a country level for fifteen selected OECD countries observed in the period from 2012 to 2019. It simultaneously studies the effect of ageing and technological progress on labour productivity and provides insight into...
