How Robust is the Capital-Skill Complementarity Hypothesis?
用瑞典数据检验资本-技能互补假说的稳健性，通过改变规模经济和技术进步的模型假设，分析资本与不同技能劳动力之间的替代关系。
This paper investigates the relation between substitution possibilities in manufacturing production between capital and two labor inputs, blue collar and white collar workers. Griliches found in 1969 that unskilled.labor was more easily substituted for by capital than skilled labor. Griliches called this capital-skill complementarity. The capital-skill complementarity hypothesis has implications for the aggregation of labor inputs as well as for employment of labor categories and income distribution between factors. This paper investigates the robustness of the capital-skill complementarity hypothesis on Swedish data by varying model assumptions concerning economies of scale and technological growth.
