Tinbergen en de theoretische armoede van de sociaaldemocratie
De Tinbergen-biografie van Erwin Dekker laat zien hoe werkloosheid tijdens de economische crisis van de jaren dertig een doorslaggevende factor was in Tinbergens denken over economisch beleid. Maar ondanks een vergelijkbaar wantrouwen jegens de ongebreidelde krachten van de 'vrije' markt zoals Keynes voorstond, bleef Tinbergens in wezen neoklassieke interpretatie van de werkloosheidsproblematiek zowel voor als na de Tweede Wereldoorlog ambivalent…
Do trustful labor–management relations enhance innovation? Evidence from German WSI data
Analyzing a sample of German firms, our Probit analysis shows that conflictual Anglo-Saxon type labor–management relationships are negatively related to the probability of performing R&D and to introduce innovations. We add to the Varieties of Capitalism literature a number of arguments of why cooperative Rhineland labor relations are superior in handling the ‘routine’ innovation model in knowledge-intensive industries. Notably if innovative comp…
Do Flexible Labor Markets Indeed Reduce Unemployment? A Robustness Check
Nickell et al. (2005) have frequently been cited as empirical evidence that labor market rigidities cause high unemployment. We find that their model is not robust. Leaving their database unchanged and changing three details in their estimation procedure, it turns out that several policy-relevant coefficients change sign or significance. We conclude that their claim from Non Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment (NAIRU) theory that labor ma…

Do Regions Matter for R&D
KLEINKNECHT A. and POOT T. P. (1992) Do regions matter for R&D?, Reg. Studies 26, 221–232. We examine the urban hierarchy and filter-down theory, drawing from the SEO national survey on R&D and innovation in The Netherlands. Our logit and regression analyses reveal that differences in R&D performance between regions can largely be explained by non-regional factors. In particular, we find no evidence that firms in urban agglomerations undertake mo…
