A Directed Search Model of Inequality with Heterogeneous Skills and Skill?Biased Technology
构建了一个技能异质性和技能偏向技术的定向搜索匹配模型，发现均衡中高技术和低技术企业分别吸引不同技能工人，导致同质低技能工人间及技能间的工资不平等，并分析了不平等对技术进步、生产率下降和技能供给弹性的反应。
In this paper I analyse the directed search/matching problem in an economy with heterogeneous skills and skill-biased technology. A unique symmetric equilibrium exists and is socially efficient. Matching is partially mixed in the equilibrium. A high-tech firm receives both skilled and unskilled applicants with positive probability, and favours skilled workers, while a low-tech firm receives only unskilled applicants. The model generates wage inequality among identical unskilled workers, as well as between-skill inequality, despite the fact that all unskilled workers perform the same task and have the same productivity in the two types of firms. Inequality has interesting responses to skill-biased technological progress, a general productivity slowdown, and an exogenous increase in the skill supply elasticity. Copyright 2002, Wiley-Blackwell.
