报告摘要:This paper reveals that unemployment insurance (UI) benefits are positively associated with R&D productivity, measured using firm-level Research Quotient (RQ, Knott, 2008). Variations in state UI programs provide a plausibly exogenous setting to analyze employees' (unobservable) attitudes, e.g., efforts and engagement, crucial inputs to innovation efficiency. The findings are consistent with UI benefits lowering the costs of unemployment to employees, improving job matching quality and engagement, and contributing to a firm's innovation outputs. The result withstands multiple endogeneity related robustness tests and confirms that employee inputs are important channels through which UI benefits influence R&D and innovation productivity.
