Wage Inequality and the New Economy
提出工资不平等加剧源于新型经济相关的技术变革，这种变革提高了对适应能力的回报，而非传统意义上的技能偏向，有助于解释教育群体内外的工资不平等演变谜题。
Many economists have argued that the observed increase in wage inequality in developed economies over the past 30 years is due to skill-biased technical progress. In this paper we put forward a somewhat different technology-based argument, namely that the increased inequality was caused by technical change linked to the pervasive innovation wave associated with the New Economy. This technical change was not skill-biased in the usual sense, but rather raised the reward to adaptability. This alternative approach based on the notion of ‘general-purpose technology’ can shed light on a number of outstanding puzzles on the evolution of wage inequality both between and within educational groups.
