Covenants Not to Compete, Labor Mobility, and Industry Dynamics (2008, unknown): “For any set of parameters, an equilibrium is a list of fEi; Vi; w(1) i ; w(2) i ; S2; x(1; N;D); x(2; N;D); (1; N;D); (2; N;D)g where x(1; N;D) and x(2; N;D) solve the consumers problem in (14), given I and the prices in (7) and (9), wages w(1) i ; w 2 i”
Does the Mobility of R&D Labor Increase Innovation? (2015, background): “Hence, mobility leads to sharing of social knowledge, which is the fundamental reason why labor mobility is perceived as an important source of aggregate innovation (Saxenian, 1994; Cooper, 2001; Franco and Mitchell, 2008).”
The Network of Innovators in Jena: An Application of Social Network Analysis (2006, background): “Cooper (2001) shows theoretically that a higher rate of job mobility corresponds to greater overall technological progress because parts of the knowledge generated by the worker can be utilized by both firms involved.”
Knowledge Transfers from Multinational to Domestic Firms: Evidence from Worker Mobility (2013, background): “There is, however, a large theoretical body of work on interfirm worker mobility and knowledge transfer (e.g., Fosfuri, Motta, & Ronde, 2001; Cooper, 2001; Markusen, 2001; Glass & Saggi, 2002; Dasgupta, 2010).”
(How) Do (Firms in) Clusters Create Knowledge? (2005, background): “Also noting that the phenomenon of ‘‘job-hopping’’ between firms in a cluster challenges firms’ ability to protect their proprietary information, Cooper (2001) models a competitive industry where workers may capitalize on information acquired on the job by migrating to rival firms.”
Is inter-firm labor mobility a channel of knowledge spillovers? Evidence from a linked employer--employee panel (2009, unknown): “ Cooper (2001) sets up a theoretical two‐period competitive industry model, where labor mobility is the vehicle diffusing knowledge from one firm to another, and where R&D and labor mobility are determined endogenously.”
How does labour mobility affect the performance of plants? The importance of relatedness and geographical proximity (2008, background): “Based on this mechanism, job mobility of skilled labour is regarded to facilitate the dissemination of embodied tacit knowledge (e.g. Almeida and Kogut, 1999; Maskell and Malmberg, 1999; Cooper, 2001; Power and Lundmark, 2004).”
