How General Is Human Capital? A Task‐Based Approach (2010, background): “…phenomena like the growth di¤erences between continental Europe and the United States (e.g. Wasmer, 2004), the rise of unemployment in continental Europe (e.g. Ljungqvist and Sargent, 2005) and the surge in wage inequality over the past decades (e.g. Violante, 2002; Kambourov and Manovskii, 2004).”
The Effects of Technical Change on Labor Market Inequalities (2004, unknown): “More recently, Cummins and Violante (2002) construct measures of equipment-embodied technical change at the two-digit industry level for the United States using BEA’s detailed estimates of equipment and software investment by industry and type of asset and document that its growth rate has…”
Technology Shocks and Job Flows (2007, methodology): “…interpreted these two phenomena as the start of a technological revolution induced by the availability of new (capital embodied) IT technologies.15 One can also notice the existence of a dramatic fall in the value of q in 1975 which Cummins and Violante (2002) attribute to a change in regulation.”
How Firms Shape Income Inequality: Stakeholder Power, Executive Decision Making, and the Structuring of Employment Relationships (2015, background): “…popular technologies examined is the microcomputer, which increases the demand for those with the requisite education and skills while making possible the routinization of certain types of work, rendering many middle-wage jobs expendable (Acemoglu, 2002; Milgrom & Roberts, 1990; Violante, 2002).”
Occupational Mobility and Wage Inequality (2004, background): “The mechanism most closely related to our theory is proposed in Violante (2002). In his model, workers are randomly matched with machines that embody technologies of different vintages.”
Cheap Children and the Persistence of Poverty (2001, unknown): “…Acemoglu (1998), Caselli (1999), Galor and Moav (2000), Eicher and Gracia-Penalosa (2001), Gould et al. (2001), Aghion et al. (2002), Gould (2002), Violante (2002) and Rubinstein and Tsiddon (2004), among others, have recently contributed to the theoretical study of the effect of technological…”
Earnings Dynamics, Changing Job Skills, and STEM Careers* (2020, result): “6 Third, our results provide an empirical foundation for work on vintage capital and technology diffusion (e.g., Griliches 1957; Chari and Hopenhayn 1991; Parente 1994; Jovanovic and Nyarko 1996; Violante 2002; Kredler 2014).”
Technology, Vintage-Specific Human Capital, and Labor Displacement: Evidence from Linking Patents with Occupations∗ (2022, background): “As technology improves, some of these skills can become obsolete in the new vintage.3 In Violante (2002) for instance, the amount of skill loss is greater if the new technology is meaningfully different from the old one.”
Good Skills in Bad Times: Cyclical Skill Mismatch and the Long-Term Effects of Graduating in a Recession (2016, background): “Skill dynamics can be motivated by the model of vintage human capital developed in Violante (2002).”
The Employment Effects of Severance Payments with Wage Rigidities (2005, unknown): “9See also Acemoglu (1999) and Violante (2002) for applications of this alternative version of the matching model with fixed production sites and endogenous rental price for sites.”
