What is the price of a skill? The value of complementarity (2022, background): “In this context, several papers have taken skill diversity and individual cognitive abilities into account to estimate their effect on wages (Altonji, 2010; Autor & Handel, 2013; Borghans et al., 2008; Bowles et al., 2001; Heckman et al., 2006; Ingram & Neumann, 2006).”
Skills in the city (2009, methodology): “…market information services, a few economists also have used the information in DOT, including, Autor et al. (2003), Bacolod and Blum (forthcoming), Wolff (2003) and Ingram and Neumann (2006). tudes needed; temperaments needed; interests; physical demands; and working conditions in the environment.”
Leverage and asset prices: An experiment (2012, unknown): “…of research demonstrates that formal education provides an incomplete picture of the knowledge and skills possessed by workers (Florida, Mellander, Stolarick, and Ross, 2011; Abel and Gabe, 2011; Bacolod, Blum, and Strange, 2009; Florida, Mellander, and Stolarick, 2008; Ingram and Neumann, 2006).”
Right for the Job: Over-Qualified or Under-Skilled? (2011, background): “Several studies show that there is significant skill heterogeneity among workers with the same qualification level, particularly in the literature focusing on returns to graduate education (Ingram and Neumann, 2006).”
Brain versus Brawn: The Realization of Women's Comparative Advantage (2010, methodology): “I use factor analysis similarly to Ingram and Neumann (2006) to reduce the dimensionality of DOT job characteristics.”
How General Is Human Capital? A Task‐Based Approach (2010, background): “Similarly, Ingram and Neumann (2006) argue that changes in the returns to tasks performed on the job are an important determinant of wage di¤erentials across education groups.”
Workforce Skills and Innovation: An Overview of Major Themes in the Literature. OECD Education Working Papers, No. 55. (2011, background): “44 such as differences in occupation, innate differences within people having the same educational attainment and investment by individuals in further job-specific training (Ingram and Neumann, 2006; Autor and Katz, 2007).”
Occupational Specificity of Human Capital (2009, background): “This is important since the level and time trend of occupational mobility are different 9See Ingram and Neumann (2000) for an attempt to construct such a metric by merging the occupational titles contained in the Current Population Survey (CPS) with the job characteristic information contained in…”
Human Capital Specificity: Evidence from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles and Displaced Worker Surveys, 1984–2000 (2008, methodology): “Ingram and Neumann (2006) used a factor analysis to extract a small number of basic factors (“skills”) from this large amount of information on job characteristics and examined the pricing over time of these “skills.””
Skill-relatedness and firm diversification (2013, background): “Ingram and Neumann (2006), for example, find that in detailed descriptions of occupations four major skill factors can be distinguished: intelligence, fine motor skills, coordination and strength.”
