This handbook looks to provide academics and students with a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the phenomenon of innovation. Innovation spans a number of fields within the social sciences and humanities: Management, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Politics, Psychology, and History. Consequently, the rapidly increasing body of literature on innovation is characterized by a multitude of perspectives based on, or cutting across, existing disciplines and specializations. Scholars of innovation can come from such diverse starting points that much of this literature can be missed, and so constructive dialogues missed. The editors of The Oxford Handbook of Innovation have carefully selected and designed twenty-one contributions from leading academic experts within their particular field, each focusing on a specific aspect of innovation. These have been organized into four main sections, the first of which looks at the creation of innovations, with particular focus on firms and networks. Section Two provides an account of the wider systematic setting influencing innovation and the role of institutions and organizations in this context. Section Three explores some of the diversity in the working of innovation over time and across different sectors of the economy, and Section Four focuses on the consequences of innovation with respect to economic growth, international competitiveness, and employment. An introductory overview, concluding remarks, and guide to further reading for each chapter, make this handbook a key introduction and vital reference work for researchers, academics, and advanced students of innovation.

Does Innovation Stimulate Employment? A Firm-Level Analysis Using Comparable Micro-Data From Four European Countries

I discuss the theoretical and empirical literature on the quantitative and qualitative employment impact of technological change. I also compare the relative explanatory power of competing economic theories, while detailing the macro, sectoral, and micro evidence on the issue with reference to advanced and developing economies. The main purpose of the paper is to offer a critical meta-analysis of both the theory and recent empirical achievements stemming from the relationship of technology and employment. More specifically, I draw some general conclusions about possible consequences of that relationship.

Innovation, Employment and Skills in Advanced and Developing Countries

Understanding whether technical change is beneficial or detrimental for employment is at the center of the policy debate, especially in phases of economic recession. So far, the effects of innovation in its manifold declinations and intrinsic complexity on labour demand have proven to be not unequivocal. This essay critically reviews the role of technical change in shaping employment dynamics at different levels of aggregation. Firstly, it disentangles theoretically the role of different compensation mechanisms through which employment adjusts after an innovation is introduced. Secondly, it critically presents the most recent empirical evidence on the topic, with a focus on methods and limitations. Finally, it provides an attempt to conceptualize a number of stylized facts and empirical regularities on the innovation-employment nexus.

The innovation-employment nexus: a critical survey of theory and empirics

This paper investigates the effect of foreign research and development (R&D) stock on the productivity of Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. We employ industry-level panel data on twenty-two manufacturing industries from six CEE countries from 1995 to 2007. The findings indicate that foreign R&D contributes significantly to productivity in CEE countries—foreign R&D stock elasticities of productivity are around ten times greater than those of the industry's internal R&D. The results are robust to various measures of productivity, while the strongest diffusion of technology occurs through imports and not through intermediate imports or foreign direct investment. The effect of R&D on productivity growth is greater in medium-tech industries where the level of productivity is closest to that of developed economies. There is also remote evidence of the role of human capital in the better absorption of foreign R&D.

International Technology Diffusion

This paper studies euro changeover-related inflation using disaggregated price level data. The difference-in-differences approach is used and the control group for the treatment country, Estonia, is built from 12 euro area countries. The Nielsen Company disaggregated price data are employed at product, brand and shop-type level. The results indicate that while the overall inflationary effect of euro adoption was modest, the effects were significantly different across various market segments. Changeover-related inflation was higher for products that were relatively cheaper than the euro area average. Inflationary effects were stronger in smaller shops. JEL Classification: D49, P46, E58

Technological change and labour demand

Macroeconometric Modelling of the Estonian Economy

This paper investigates the implications of innovation on employment at the firm and industry levels using Estonian data. The paper contributes to the pertinent literature in two respects. First, in contrast to most other studies, which use data from developed and technologically leading countries, it analyzes data from a catching-up country undergoing rapid economic development. Second, regarding the nature of the data, we propose a novel dynamic estimation strategy based on community innovation surveys (CISs). Our results indicate that innovation positively affects employment growth, resulting from the strong effect of process innovation on employment in medium and low-tech industries. However, at the industry level, the effect on net employment vanishes.
