Abstract
This paper deals with employment effects of private R&D-expenditures. The labor demand function is derived from a normalized restricted cost function and depends on the prices of variable inputs labor and material and the stocks of quasi-fixed inputs capital and technological know-how. The last input variable is produced by R&Dexpenditures. We estimate the model using a panel data set of German firms for 1979 to 1982. Our main empirical findings are: R&D-expenditures have a significant positive effect on the employment of R&D-personal, but have no significant effect on the employment of production workers in subsequent years.
