... 6 See Tortarolo and Zarate (2020), Mertens (2022) and Traina (2022) for examples of joint estimation of markups and wage markdowns. Previous work that has employed the production approach to investigate imperfect competition in both product and labour markets includes Dobbelaere (2004), Crépon et al. (2005) and Dobbelaere and Mairesse (2013). For an example of joint estimation of firms' seller power in product market and buyer power in material market, see Rubens (2023). ...

... Firms' performance has been studied in different countries and regions from various perspectives, such as: labour and total factor productivity, technical efficiency, allocative and cost efficiency. However, scholars have usually concentrated on studying sectors such as manufacturing (Pieri and Zaninotto, 2013;Raymond et al., 2015), health (Colombi et al. 2017;Ni Luasa et al. 2018), or education (Guarini et al., 2020), whilst very little attention has been paid to the cultural sector. In what follows, the studies which evaluate efficiency in the cultural sector are outlined. ...

... This is in line with literature on the combined influence of spillovers and absorptive capacity, suggesting that the complexity of the production base may distort the knowledge accumulation process (Tsekouras et al., 2016;Sala-i-Martin et al., 2008). That is, avoiding trapping in lumpy technological regimes or in perpetuate inefficient practices (Dobbelaere et al., 2015) to create value (Lane et al., 2006;Volberda et al., 2010), requires not only an adequate level of absorptive capacity; rather the composition of the absorptive capacity matters (Flor and Oltra, 2013). ...

... Deeds et al. (2000) indicated that dynamic capabilities focused on developing the quality of capabilities to adapt to changes are associated with the continuous development of products and innovations by the company. This finding is consistent with Griffith et al. (2006), who found that dynamic capabilities are a factor that enhances competitiveness and leads to business success. Therefore, for a business organization to achieve success, it must rely on dynamic capabilities to gain a competitive advantage and utilize knowledge within the context of dynamic capabilities to enhance resources and operational capabilities (Sakonkharadet et al., 2017). ...

In addition, W r i and N i , are the overall skill average 'reservation wage' and the total number of hours worked at the industry level; where the former is set as equal to or lower than the minimum industry average observed workers' compensation across all industries, for a given country and year (Cette et al., 2019). ...

... Academia is a domain in which the interruptions that result from having children can substantially hamper career advancement. Some studies confirm the negative impact of being a mother on publication productivity (Lutter and Schröder 2020;Mairesse et al. 2019;Morgan et al. 2021), promotion process (Finkel and Olswang 1996;Mason et al. 2013), scientific collaboration (Hunter and Leahey 2010), and academic mobility (Wagner et al. 2017). For this reason, the so-called "stop-the-clock" policies, as discussed by Manchester et al. (2010), are being implemented more frequently. ...

... A global rise of interest has been observed in the impacts of innovation on jobs since the arrival of the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. Some recent research confirms huge costs of disruptive innovation (Autor, 2015;Frey and Osborne, 2017;Silva and Lima, 2017;Mairesse and Wu, 2019;Restrepo, 2019, 2020). In contrast to these recent studies that warn of the job replacement effects of innovation, the traditional literature tends to emphasize that innovation not only has a job displacement effect but also has a compensation effect because innovation creates new demand for high quality products and, subsequently, employment (Vivarelli, 2014;Harrison et al., 2014;Acemoglu and Restrepo, 2019). ...
