Innovation and Sectoral Employment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The question whether technological progress displaces employment or whether technological advance is beneficial for the level of employment has been in the core of economic dispute for over two centuries. The beneficial might be achieved by several compensation mechanisms within the economic system. In this paper we categorize these compensation mechanisms into two basic categories that reflect the different nature of the ideas ruling the compensation. We discriminate the mechanisms employment despite of innovation from employment via innovation. In the context of new innovation economics we model an artificial industry implementing both compensation mechanisms. Simulation analysis is used to examine the short run and the long run properties of the model. There we focus on the influence of wage restraint policy on the functioning of the compensation mechanism. ∗ University of Augsburg, Universitaetsstr. 16, D-86135 Augsburg,Germany, ph. +49-821-598-4179, fax: +49-821-598-4229, e-mail: [email protected] ∗∗ INRA-SERD, Université Pierre Mendés-France, F-38040 GRENOBLE Cédex 9, fax: +33-4-76-82-54-55 [email protected] 2

متن کاملThe Co-evolution of Sectors and National Institutional Set-ups
It has been shown that over a 20 year period of time the OECD countries have converged in terms of their aggregate technological effort, but this trend covers diverging patterns of sectoral innovative activities even for the countries at the forefront of the " convergence club " (Archibugi and Pianta 1994). This evidence supports the relevance of the National Systems of Innovation (NSI) perspec...
متن کاملIs Non-linear Serial Dependence Present in the Us Unemployment Rate and the Growth Rates of Employment Sectoral Shares? Evidence from a Battery of Non- Linearity Tests
The assumption of linearity is tested using six statistical tests for the US unemployment rate and four employment sectoral shares growth rates; construction, finance, manufacturing and trade. An AR(p) model was used to remove any linear structure from the series. Strong evidence of non-linearity was found for the unemployment rate and the sectoral shares across the six statistical tests.
