520 The process of firms' growth - in terms of productivity or
employment - is a major concern of policy makers. In this
context, innovations are considered to play a crucial role
in stimulating firms' performance. This book investigates
this general hypothesis by looking at three topics: 1.
Does innovation lead to an increase in employment growth?
2. Does innovation boost labour productivity? 3. Does
innovation in one period improve innovation performance in
subsequent periods? Based on a comprehensive innovation
panel dataset for German firms, this book presents
detailed results for each question, in particular by
separating the effects induced by new products from those
induced by the introduction of new production
technologies. From a theoretical point of view, amongst
others, a new multi-product model has been developed to
study employment effects.
