Abstract
dc.description.abstract
In this paper we study the impact of innovation activities on
employment. We develop an empirical strategy based on Jaumandreu
(2003) whichaccounts for differences between product and process
innovations. Using microdata at a firm level for the period 1998-2001,
we found that product innovations affect positively and significantly
employment levels in Chile. On the other hand there is no evidence to
suggest that process innovations significantly affect employment after
controlling for investment and sectorial patterns. These findings are of
extremely interest in the current discussion about technological
innovation policy in Chile.
