Morris Department of Economics, University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT JEL classification: This paper examines the links between firm innovation and productivity using the largest cross-country panel D22 dataset assembled for this purpose to date. We use harmonized and comparable data on a total of 40,577 small, L25 medium and large firms surveyed in the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (WBES) and provide some support for L26 the reported patterns previously found in the innovation literature. Our results indicate that estimates from L53 studies using cross-section data may be upward biased but nevertheless, innovative firms are significantly and O12 economically more productive in both the manufacturing and services sectors. O25 O31 Keywords: Economic growth Heterogeneity Innovation Productivity Simultaneity 1. Introduction sustainable competitive advantages among innovating firms. Invest- ment in R&D tends to increase absorptive capacity, assimilation of There is a high correlation between survival and improved firm knowledge, and catch up among weaker firms (Crespi and Zuniga, productivity (Syverson, 2011). As such, can productivity be stimulated? 2012). Furthermore, innovation and application of new ideas could Recent research suggests the answer is yes. Several papers point to firm stimulate the formation of new sectors (structural change), changes in characteristics, input and output demand and elements of the market production structures, specialization, and a gradual expansion of more structure as influencers of productivity growth (Melitz, 2003; Javorcik, knowledge-intensive activities (Alvarez et al., 2015).

Microeconomic evidence∗ Martyn Andrews University of Manchester Thorsten Schanky Johannes Gutenberg-UniversitätMainz, IZA and LASER Richard Upward University of Nottingham October 26, 2015 Abstract This paper provides evidence that foreign workers reduce firms’ trade costs and thus increase the probability that firms export. This informs both the literature on trade costs and the microeconomic literature on firms’ export behaviour. We identify the nationality of each worker in a large sample of German establishments, and relate this to the exporting behaviour of these establishments. We allow for the possible endogeneity of an establishment's workforce by instrumenting the share of foreign workers with the regional distribution of foreign workers in the wider labour market. We find a significant effect of worker nationality on exporting which is not driven by the industrial, occupational or locational concentration of migrants.

Jones Nigel Rice Pedro Rosa Dias July 2010 york.ac.uk/res/herc/hedgwp LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF COGNITIVE SKILLS, SOCIAL ADJUSTMENT AND SCHOOLING ON HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE: EVIDENCE FROM A REFORM OF SELECTIVE SCHOOLING ANDREW M. JONES¶, NIGEL RICE & PEDRO ROSA DIAS University of York 29 April 2010 Abstract Members of the National Child Development Study (NCDS) cohort attended very different types of secondary school, as their schooling lay within the transition period of the comprehensive education reform in England and Wales. This provides a natural setting to explore the impact of educational attainment and of school quality on health and health- related behaviour later in life. We use a combination of matching methods and parametric regressions to deal with selection effects and to evaluate differences in adult health outcomes and health-related behaviour for cohort members exposed to the old selective and to the new comprehensive educational systems.

Macroeconomic Instability and the Incentive to Innovate
Munich Personal RePEc Archive Macroeconomic instability and the incentive to innovate Masino, Serena University of Manchester, UK April 2012 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/38766/ MPRA Paper No. 38766, posted 12 May 2012 23:58 UTC MACROECONOMIC INSTABILITY AND THE INCENTIVE TO INNOVATE SERENA MASINO University of Manchester [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper investigates the channels through which macroeconomic volatility prevents or hinders innovative investment undertakings financed by the domestic business sector. The analysis is based on a sample of 48 countries, representing all levels of development, and uses various measures of macroeconomic instability, such as political, real and monetary volatility. The results suggest a negative impact of macroeconomic instability on the share of R&D financed by the domestic business sector. These outcomes highlight the desirability of counter-cyclical policy interventions aiming to prevent the avoidance or abandonment of private R&D undertakings in unstable macroeconomic environments. Keywords: Macroeconomic Volatility, Political Instability, R&D Investment. JEL Classification: C33, C36, O11, O3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to Kyriakos Neanidis for detailed feedback, to Martyn Andrews and Arthur Sinko for technical feedback, to David Chivers, and James Bank for helpful discussion. I would also like to thank the participants to the 16th ICMAIF Conference, the ED Conference 2011 and the Development RAG Seminar at the University of Manchester for their comments and suggestions. 1 1. INTRODUCTION A number of studies have dealt with the implications of macroeconomic volatility on macro- performance.1 Some of these, in particular, have focused on the effects of macro-volatility on private investment activity, with sometime conflicting results (Hartman, 1972; Abel, 1983; Dehn, 2000; Pindyck and Solimano, 1993; Bernanke, 1980; Federer, 1993; Serven, 2003, Aghion et al., 2010).

This is the summer. Half of the foreign community seems to be out. Those that are left in Moscow are dying of heat stroke, or queuing to buy tickets to the Arctic. Moscow was amazed as Britney Spears performed live at the Olimpiisky Stadium, without staying a single night in our fair city. Despite all of this, I am able to say confidently that there is life in Moscow in July and August, as wit- nessed by the variety and number of articles in this month’s issue.
