The research is based on labor flows in a sample of more than one million affiliated workers. Our results confirmed the influence of related variety on the growth of GDP and employment in knowledge-based industries, in protecting against unemployment, as well as on the creation of new firms, although with marked differences according to the economic cycle. Robustness issues and possible lines of progress using this novel methodology are also discussed.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1111/pirs.12663open access338.12(460)"20"J24economic cycleinter-industry labor flowsskill-relatednesscrisis económicasciclos económicosPlanificación económicaTrabajo5307.09 Teoría de la Planificación Económica
