本文利用机构-企业-员工的关联数据，考察了科技人员就业比例与生产率和劳动收入之间的关系。我们证明：（1）工业界的大多数科学家和工程师受雇于生产商品或服务的机构，不从事研究和开发（RD）;（2）生产率在SEP较高的制造业机构中较高，并随着SEP的增加而增加;（3）员工收入在SEP较高的制造业企业中较高，并在SEP较高的企业中大幅增加，但是当机构中SEP增加时，对于机构中的雇员来说仅是适度的。研究结果表明，科学家和工程师在商品和服务生产机构的工作是提高生产率和收入的重要途径，与从事研发的科学家和工程师的工作是分开的。
This paper uses linked establishment-firm-employee data to examine the relationship between the scientists and engineers proportion (SEP) of employment, and productivity and labor earnings. We show that: (1) most scientists and engineers in industry are employed in establishments producing goods or services, and do not perform research and development (RD (2) productivity is higher in manufacturing establishments with higher SEP, and increases with increases in SEP; (3) employee earnings are higher in manufacturing establishments with higher SEP, and increase substantially for employees who move to establishments with higher SEP, but only modestly for employees within an establishment when SEP increases in the establishment. The results suggest that the work of scientists and engineers in goods and services producing establishments is an important pathway for increasing productivity and earnings, separate and distinct from the work of scientists and engineers who perform R&D.
