Job Protection’s Sectoral and Local Adjustments – Instrument in View to Accelerating Ecoinovation Enactment

Abstract

Romania's transition towards the green economy is strongly heterogeneously in both terms: sectoral and spatial, with low performance of economy in innovation and eco-innovation. From the 81 sectors analysed more than a half needs to diminish a significant gap in productivities, while more than V4 requests with high priority to be restructured - presenting clear alarm signals. The Anselin's Global spatial autocorrelation model confirm the tendency of clustering for the highly skilled workers in more than 4/5 sectors from 88 studied (Microdata- National Institute of Statistics), in HH location core clusters. These "brain hubs" or "innovation clusters" in the sense of Moretti (2012) indicates the importance of a smart employment protection legislation adjusting (EPL).
