What Do I Take with Me?: The Mediating Effect of Spin-Out Team Size and Tenure on the Founder-Firm Performance Relationship (2016, unknown): “Since job complexity is associated with high labor market demand (Spitz-Oener, 2006) and consequently with high wages (Ophem, Hartog, & Vijverberg 1993), higher quality employees may work on more complex tasks than lower quality employees, and these individuals will tend to have stronger incentives ”
Can a Task-Based Approach Explain the Recent Changes in the German Wage Structure? (2009, methodology): “Autor et al. (2003) and Spitz-Oener (2006) determined a large increase in jobs involving non-routine manual tasks and our data shows a large decrease of non-routine manual tasks between 1999 and 2006.”
