It is organised around four work packages, applying state of the art econometric methods and unique high-quality population-wide linked employer-employee data on jobs, workers and firms with information on e.g., wages, education, unemployment, accounting and patents, combined with questionnaire survey data and textual data. GREENFIELD involves collaboration with leading researchers from Imperial College London, University College London, University of Albany and NBER, thus making it possible to compare elements of the green transition in Norway, UK and the U.S.
WP 1 addresses issues related to how the transition to green industries, occupations and jobs affect working conditions, pay, location, job creation and job reallocation, with particular emphasis on polarization and inequality. We will also study the need for reskilling or upskilling.
WP 2 study how public policies might support the green transition, domestically and abroad through trade, directly and through spillover effects.
WP 3 addresses the role of intangible capital has for the green transition and the return to this form for capital. Traditionally by capital analyses have focused on physical capital. Intangible capital comprises copyrights, patents and software.
WP 4 investigates how the pandemic alters the green transition, by addressing labour demand responses and firm innovation and performance. In particular, we analyze how the pandemic has influenced the use of electronic communication platforms, and how this has affected workers and their work patterns.
