| 总结: | This paper estimates the effects of research and development (R&D) expenditure on the employment growth in
Malaysian manufacturing sector during the period 2000 to 2008. Theoretical literatures devote the link between
R&D and employment structure tends to suggest technological change has positive effects on job. Using dynamic
panel GMM system estimation and 3 digit industry levels from manufacturing survey over the period 2000 to
2008, this paper find there is negative and significant relationship between R&D expenditure and employment
growth. This is true when we consider with the second lag of the variable. Employment growth in Malaysian
labour market however still favour to labour oriented and the absorption of the new technology is considered low. |
