  • how posting shapes a hybrid single european Labour market
    European Journal of Industrial Relations, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ninke Mussche, Vincent Corluy, Ive Marx
    Abstract:

    Some scholars argue that intra-EU Labour migration improves the allocation of human capital in Europe and that Labour Mobility is still too low to constitute a single European Labour market. Others...

  • the rise of the free movements how posting shapes a hybrid single european Labour market
    Social Science Research Network, 2016
    Co-Authors: Ninke Mussche, Vincent Corluy, Ive Marx
    Abstract:

    Intra‐EU Mobility has been the subject of debate from its very inception. Some scholars argue that intra‐EU Labour migration improves the allocation of human capital in the EU and contend that the level of permanent‐type Labour Mobility is still too low to talk of a single European Labour market. Others point to the social downside of both free Labour Mobility and free service Mobility, such as the increased precariousness of industrial relations, and problems of wage dumping. Since the downsides are acute and demand attention, less attention has been given to the origins, destinations and nature of the posting flows more generally. One of the reasons for this is the fact that data on posting are still scarce.This article aims to fill this gap by exploring unique posting data for Belgium. Based on these data we argue that while the free movement of Labour and a single European Labour market has been a policy goal for decades, it is the free movement of services that is well on its way to shape a hybrid single European Labour market. Permanent type Mobility is greatly complemented with high levels of short term service Mobility. Service Mobility/posting is as much a phenomenon of intra‐EU15 Mobility, than it is of EU12 Mobility.Moreover, posting is set to remain more popular than classical free movement of Labour among EU12 citizens. Service workers circumvent the most important linguistic, cultural, institutional and social hurdles that classical mobile workers face in a diverse EU. The free movement of services is developing to such an extent that it complements permanent type free Labour Mobility in shaping a single but typically European Labour market that is driven by diversity and circular Mobility.

  • research networks and inventors Mobility as drivers of innovation evidence from europe
    Regional Studies, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ernest Miguelez, Rosina Moreno
    Abstract:

    Miguelez E. and Moreno R. Research networks and inventors' Mobility as drivers of innovation: evidence from Europe, Regional Studies. This paper investigates the importance of the Labour Mobility of inventors, as well as the scale, extent and density of their collaborative research networks, for regional innovation outcomes. To do so, a knowledge production function framework at the regional level is used. The empirical approach presented takes full account of spatial interactions by estimating a spatial lag model, together, where necessary, with a spatial error model. In addition, standard errors are calculated using spatial heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (SHAC) techniques. The results suggest the existence of a robust positive correlation between intra-regional Labour Mobility and regional innovation, whilst the relationship with networks is less clear.

  • skilled Labour Mobility networks and knowledge creation in regions a panel data approach
    Annals of Regional Science, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ernest Miguelez, Rosina Moreno
    Abstract:

    The aim of this paper is to investigate the relative contribution of different features of the local Labour market for inventors on regional patenting. By means of a knowledge production function and a sample of 276 European regions, we assess whether local Labour Mobility of inventors, as well as the scale and extent of their collaborative research networks, correlates with innovation outcomes. In the second part of the paper, we extend the analysis to the role of spatial Mobility of knowledge workers and cross-regional research networks as predictors of regional patenting.

  • do Labour Mobility and technological collaborations foster geographical knowledge diffusion the case of european regions
    Growth and Change, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ernest Miguelez, Rosina Moreno
    Abstract:

    The goal of this paper is twofold: first, we aim to assess the role played by inventors’ cross-regional Mobility and collaborations in fostering knowledge diffusion across regions and subsequent innovation. Second, we intend to evaluate the feasibility of using Mobility and co-patenting information to build cross-regional interaction matrices to be used within the spatial econometrics toolbox. To do so, we depart from a knowledge production function where regional innovation intensity is a function not only of the own regional innovation inputs but also external accessible knowledge stocks gained through interregional interactions. Differently from much of the previous literature, cross-section gravity models of Mobility and co-patents are estimated to use the fitted values to build our ‘spatial’ weights matrices, which characterize the intensity of knowledge interactions across a panel of 269 regions covering most European countries over 6 years.

  • research networks and inventors Mobility as drivers of innovation evidence from europe
    2010
    Co-Authors: Ernest Miguelez, Rosina Moreno
    Abstract:

    We investigate the importance of the Labour Mobility of inventors, as well as the scale, extent and density of their collaborative research networks, for regional innovation outcomes. To do so, we apply a knowledge production function framework at the regional level and include inventors’ networks and their Labour Mobility as regressors. Our empirical approach takes full account of spatial interactions by estimating a spatial lag model together, where necessary, with a spatial error model. In addition, standard errors are calculated using spatial heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent estimators to ensure their robustness in the presence of spatial error autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity of unknown form. Our results point to the existence of a robust positive correlation between intra-regional Labour Mobility and regional innovation, whilst the relationship with networks is less clear. However, networking across regions positively correlates with a region’s innovation intensity.
