使用一个独特的企业级数据库，包括顶级欧洲研发投资者在2002-2013年期间和运行LSDVC估计，这项研究发现了一个显着的劳动力友好型的影响R&D支出。然而，这种积极的就业效应似乎在幅度上是有限的，而且完全是由于中高技术部门，而在低技术产业中没有发现任何效应。从政策角度来看，这一结果支持了欧盟2020战略，但考虑到大多数欧洲经济体专门从事低技术活动，这也令人担忧欧洲劳动力市场的未来前景。
Using a unique firm-level database comprising the top European R&D investors over the period 2002-2013 and running LSDVC estimates, this study finds a significant labour-friendly impact of R&D expenditures. However, this positive employment effect appears limited in magnitude and entirely due to the medium-and high-tech sectors, while no effect can be detected in the low-tech industries. From a policy point of view, this outcome is supporting the EU2020 strategy, but – taking into account that most of European economies are specialized in low-tech activities – is also worrying in terms of future perspectives of the European labour market.
