Influences of Innovation on Employment in Romania, in the European Context
Abstract
This paper aims to identify and analyze the effect of innovations on the employment in Romania. The type of innovation chosen is broadband and we study its impact on human resource in science and technology (HRST) in Romania, compared to the EU average. As representative indicators are taken into account the broadband penetration rate and the number of HRST, during 2007 – 2011. In the research we made the conceptual boundaries of the above mentioned indicators and through a quantitative analysis and a unifactorial econometric model we show the influence of broadband on HRST, in Romania.References
