Skill Biased Technical Change Polarization of the Labor Market and Wage Inequality
Shifts in the aggregate production function have long been studied by economists. Solow (1957) first classified these shifts as technical changes that can encompass slowdowns, speedups or improvements in the education of the labor force. Solow showed that these technical changes were factor-neutral from 1909-1949. Shifts in the production function are neutral if they leave the marginal rate of ...
متن کاملLabor- and Capital-augmenting Technical Change
I analyze an economy in which firms can undertake both laborand capital-augmenting technological improvements. In the long run, the economy resembles the standard growth model with purely labor-augmenting technical change, and the share of labor in GDP is constant. Along the transition path, however, there is capital-augmenting technical change and factor shares change. Tax policy and changes i...
متن کاملTechnical Change , Inequality , and The Labor Market ∗
This essay discusses the effect of technical change on wage inequality. I argue that the behavior of wages and returns to schooling indicates that technical change has been skill-biased during the past sixty years. Furthermore, the recent increase in inequality is most likely due to an acceleration in skill bias. In contrast to twentiethcentury developments, much of thr technical change during ...
متن کاملStructural Change and Non-Constant Biased Technical Change
Empirical evidence suggests that the differences in rates of technical progress across sectors are time-variant, implying that the bias in technological change is not constant. In this paper, we analyze the implications of this nonconstant sectoral biased technical change for structural change and we assess whether this is an important factor behind structural transformations. To this end, we d...
متن کاملSkill-Biased Technical Change and the Cost of Higher Education
We document the growth in higher education costs and tuition over the past 50 years. To explain these trends, we develop a general equilibrium model with skilland sector-biased technical change. Finding the model’s parameters through a combination of estimation and calibration, we show that it can explain the rise in college costs between 1961 and 2009, along with the increase in college attain...
