| Abstract: | The effects of purchased services and imported intermediate materials on the labour demand for different skills in German manufacturing sectors are examined. A factor demand system based on the generalised Box-Cox cost function nesting both the normalised quadratic and the translog functional form is derived and estimated. It is found that the impacts of output and capital growth are more important in explaining the demand for heterogenous labour than substitution effects between labour and non-labour inputs. |
