| Abstract: | The qualitative study discusses and guides the business people with the strategic management of business knowledge using research skills development framework. The success of the development of business strategy management is closely related to the framework of developing specific field expertise. One of them is through the research skills development framework (RSD). For that purpose, we have taken a strategic step, namely collecting data and information from various literature sources that seek and examine several scientific publications related to the framework and concepts of developing research expertise. After the data is collected, we next analyze with a phenomenological approach to ensure that our findings are valid and reliable in answering research formation questions. The analysis process involved coding the data, in-depth interpretation, and conclusions so that the findings could line up with the problems of the research. Finally, we could conclude the results that the RSD framework can be a conceptual framework in developing a business management strategy with analysis of approaches and communication assisted by rubrics and autonomy for researchers. Thus, these findings are to become part of a formal reference for starting a business that is useful and effective. |

| Abstract: | We propose an overlapping generations framework in which life expectancyis determined endogenously by governmental health investments. As a novelty, we are able to examine the feedback effects between life expectancy and R&D-driven economic growth for the transitional dynamics. We find that i) higher survival induces economic growth through higher savings and higherlabor force participation; ii) longevity-induced reductions in fertility hampereconomic development; iii) the positive life expectancy effects of larger savingsand higher labor force participation outweigh the negative effect of a reductionin fertility, and iv) there exists a growth-maximizing size of the health caresector that might lie beyond what is observed in most countries. Altogether, the results support a rather optimistic view on the relationship between lifeexpectancy and economic growth and contribute to the debate surroundingrising health shares and economic development. |

| Abstract: | We propose a model with asymmetric firms where new technologies displace workers. We show that both leading (low-cost) firms and laggard (high-cost) firms increase productivity when automating but that only laggard firms hire more automation-susceptible workers. The reason for this asymmetry is that in laggard firms, the lower incentive to invest in new technologies implies a weaker displacement effect and thus that the output-expansion effect on labor demand dominates. Using novel firm-level automation workforce probabilities, which reveal the extent to which a firms’ workforce can be replaced by new AI and robotic technology and a new shiftshare instrument to address endogeneity, we find strong empirical evidence for these predictions in Swedish matched employer-employee data. |

| Abstract: | Rapid technological development makes skills depreciate faster than in the past while new technologies generate gaps in workers’ skills and call for the acquisition of proper skills and lifelong learning. Proper skill mixes for future jobs include strong cognitive skills, basic information and communication technology, and analytical skills, as well as a range of noncognitive skills such as creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication. Retraining and reskilling workers is also crucial. All these changes lead to a major rethinking of education and skill training throughout a person’s life. This paper reviews the recent studies on human capital and skill formation in the era of rapid technological progress. Findings from these studies particularly in labor economics can shed light on new directions for lifelong education policies. |
