Efectos de la innovación en el empleo: análisis a nivel de la empresa en Bolivia
El presente estudio cuantifica el impacto de la innovación en procesos y productos sobre el crecimiento del empleo en Bolivia empleando microdatos de la encuesta de innovación en Bolivia (2016). Siguiendo el modelo de Harrison et al. (2008), y la adecuación para América Latina de Crespi y Tacsir (2013) y Elejalde, Giuliodori y Stucchi (2015), se encuentra que el crecimiento en el empleo se explica por la innovación en productos. Por otro lado, no se observa evidencia de un efecto desplazamiento debido a la innovación en procesos. En cuanto a la innovación y la composición del empleo, se aprecia un ligero sesgo en favor de la generación de empleo calificado en detrimento del no calificado.
