Riassunto analitico
This doctoral thesis focuses on employment dynamics in firms, and on the
relationship between employment dynamics and innovation, with a particular focus on the
entry process. It conceptualizes theoretically and analyses empirically different aspects of
the complex interaction between technical change and employment dynamics, focusing on
the heterogeneous effects of different types of innovation on employment growth. In the
light of the prominent role of newly-born firms in shaping the creative destruction process
and contributing to overall job creation, this thesis provides a characterization of the net job
contribution by surviving entrants across a significant number of countries. Using newly
collected representative micro-aggregated data, it further analyses whether and how a number
of institutional characteristics affect start-ups’ net job creation, focusing on the heterogeneous
effects of policies on entrants and incumbents. This thesis finally characterizes a particular
feature of the employment growth distributions – employment growth volatility – that not
only proves to be crucially mediating the effects of policies on entrants’ net job creation, but
also has important micro and macroeconomic implications.
