Individual differences in skill acquisition are influenced by several architectural factors. According to Ackerman’s theory, general intelligence, speed of proceduralization and psychomotor speed influence different stages of skill acquisition. The ACT-R cognitive architecture allows for direct testing of this theory by manipulating parameters that correspond to these factors. The present study...

I use data from employers and longitudinal data from former/current recipients covering the period 1997 to early 2004 to analyze the relationship between job skills, job changes, and the evolution of wages. I analyze the effects of job skill requirements on starting wages, on-the-job training opportunities, wage growth prospects, and job turnover. The results show that jobs of different skill r...

We explore the problem of assigning heterogeneous tasks to workers with different, unknown skill sets in crowdsourcing markets such as Amazon Mechanical Turk. We first formalize the online task assignment problem, in which a requester has a fixed set of tasks and a budget that specifies how many times he would like each task completed. Workers arrive one at a time (with the same worker potentia...

We analyze the welfare effects of trade and migration, focusing on two-sided horizontal heterogeneity among workers firms. Horizontal (skill-type) generates monopsonistic labor markets as well within-firm wage inequality an endogenous quality worker–firm matches. In a model combining worker with monopolistic competition goods markets, liberalization causes firm exit which raises markdowns worse...

In the current study, we aimed at detecting open-skill versus closed-skill sports and questioned role of their total involvement these until age ...
