Abstract

Inspired by the compensation theory and the contributions of endogenous growth theory, this paper aims at determining the short and long run effects of technological innovations diffusion on employment in Tunisia. The empirical approaches adopted show that, in the short run, the effects on employment are positive, but they are negative in medium and long runs. If this result is not specific to the reference sample used in this research and to the investigated period, the Tunisian context seems to contradict the theoretical predictions. This result could affirm the fact that Tunisian economy remains a passive consumer and a small producer of technological innovations. This investigates the absorptive capacity of the Tunisian industry and the efficiency of learning process. The shortrun positive effect, on the other hand, is explained by the complementarity of capital and labor.
