摘要

我证明了《统一商业秘密法》（UTSA）的采用使Compustat的上市公司的就业人数增加了5.1%。这种影响主要集中在初始就业低于中位数、债务成本较高、知识溢出潜力更大的公司。研发支出和无形资产的积累成为这些就业效应的关键驱动因素。对劳动力需求的分析显示，在采用UTSA之后，空缺职位增加了9.4%，尤其是熟练工人。那些最初受上市公司劳动力需求影响较大的县，失业率会下降，这突显出UTSA对当地劳动力市场和就业增长的影响并不均匀。

Trade secrets protection and employment of public firms: Evidence from the Uniform Trade Secrets Act

I demonstrate that the adoption of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA) results in a 5.1% increase in employment among public firms in Compustat. The effects are concentrated in firms with below-median initial employment, higher debt costs, and greater potential for knowledge spillovers. R&D expenditures and the accumulation of intangible assets emerge as key drivers of these employment effects. An analysis of labor demand reveals a 9.4% rise in vacancy postings, particularly for skilled workers, following UTSA adoption. Counties with higher initial exposure to public firms’ labor demand experience declines in unemployment rates, underscoring the UTSA’s non-uniform impact on local labor markets and employment growth.

期刊介绍： Research Policy (RP) articles explore the interaction between innovation, technology, or research, and economic, social, political, and organizational processes, both empirically and theoretically. All RP papers are expected to provide insights with implications for policy or management. Research Policy (RP) is a multidisciplinary journal focused on analyzing, understanding, and effectively addressing the challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D, and science. This includes activities related to knowledge creation, diffusion, acquisition, and exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes, or services, across economic, policy, management, organizational, and environmental dimensions.
