Technology and the Wage Structure
利用行业数据，考察技术变革如何影响不同教育、经验和性别群体的工资差距，发现研发密集型行业扩大了教育工资差距但有利于经验丰富者，而高技术资本密集行业则缩小了性别工资差距。
This article reports direct evidence on how technological change is related to changes in wage gaps by schooling, experience, and gender. Wage gaps by schooling increased the most in industries with rising R&D intensity and accelerating growth in the capital-labor ratio. Estimates of their relationship to high-tech capital are inconclusive. Contrary to popular notions that technological change harms older workers, wage growth of experienced workers is much greater in R&D-intensive industries than in industries with little R&D activity. The gender gap narrowed more in industries that most intensively used high-tech capital in 1979. Copyright 2001 by University of Chicago Press.
