We utilize an endogenous switching technique which accounts for selection bias issues and endogeneity. We show that there exist employment gains from product innovations only for firms operating in highly concentrated sectors, whereas we cannot find evidence for low concentration sectors. Our results point out a negative association between process innovation and employment only for firms operating in high concentration sectors.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessInnovationEmploymentMarket StructureResearch-And-DevelopmentEmbodied Technological-ChangeProductivityArticle10.1007/s00181-023-02382-165138514072-s2.0-85147961022Q1WOS:000932809700001Q2
