Explaining International Differences in Male Skill wage Differentials by Differences in Demand and Supply of Skill
利用15个国家的微观数据，检验技能工资差异是否可由技能供需框架解释，发现约三分之一的跨国技能工资差异可由技能净供给差异解释，且该框架对低技能工人相对工资的解释力更强。
This paper explores the hypothesis that wage differentials between skill groups across countries are consistent with a demand and supply framework. Using micro data from 15 countries we find that about one third of the variation in relative wages between skill groups across countries is explained by differences in net supply of skill groups. The demand and supply framework does an even better job at explaining relative wages of low skilled workers. Copyright 2004 Royal Economic Society.
