TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present empirical evidence on the effect of process and product innovations on productivity, as well as on the role played by R&D and fixed capital investment in enhancing the likelihood of introducing innovations at the firm level.

TL;DR: Estimates suggest that a one-unit increase in PM2.5 concentration is associated with a 9% (95% confidence interval: 6–12%) increase in COVID-19 related mortality.

TL;DR: It is shown that while projects distributed under highly restrictive licensing terms (GPL) have a significantly smaller probability of reaching a stable release, applications towards sophisticated users have a larger probability of evolving in the development status.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether the level of employee experience is good or bad for innovation and productivity in Italian manufacturing firms during the early 2000s and found that having a high share of inexperienced workers is associated with low innovation and low productivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of workers' and managerial experience as determinants of firm innovation and productivity in a sample of Italian manufacturing firms is investigated, and the effect of managerial experience measured by age on firm performance depends instead on the type of firm: high age of managers and board members is bad for innovation and growth, while costs and benefits of old managerial age cancel out for non-innovative firms.
