This paper explores the relation between R&D and the evolution of labour demand in a sample of over 5,600 Italian manufacturing and services firms with at least 10 employees over the period 2014-2017. The analysis is based on the integration of several sources of official statistics, combining survey and administrative data. The empirical investigation is performed by stimating a standard labour demand equation augmented by R&D investments, checking for potential bias due to self-selection. The richness of the dataset allows us to investigate the sources of growth in the number of employees, as well as the heterogeneity emerging among workers with different education levels. Results show a positive association between R&D firms’ efforts and labour demand – especially for high-educated workers –, though eterogeneous patterns turn out depending on firms’ size, business age and the geographical area where firm is located.
