Immigration, Skill Mix, and the Choice of Technique (2005, unknown): “Models of directed technical change (Acemoglu, 1998) and endogenous choice of technique (Beaudry and Green 2003, 2005) in essence argue that skill-complementary technologies have become more prevalent as a result of the rising skills of the U.S. workforce.”
The Effects of Technical Change on Labor Market Inequalities (2004, unknown): “W −WB = 1 + r 1− 2p Using (28) and (29) together with this condition, one arrives at the expression for equilibrium wage inequality: w − w = r + 2p 1− 2p (30)”
How Do Industries and Firms Respond to Changes in Local Labor Supply? (2015, background): “Such technology shifts are thought of as being either due to profit-maximizing innovators’ endogenous choice of research direction ðsee, e.g., Acemoglu 1998, 2002Þ or producers’ selection of an optimal production technology from a given pool of alternatives ðsee, e.g., Beaudry and Green 2003, 2005; ”
Immigration, Trade and Productivity in Services: Evidence from U.K. Firms (2018, background): “These new techniques, in turn, may generate productivity gains (Beaudry and Green, 2003 and 2005; Beaudry et al, 2010; Caselli and Coleman, 2006).”
The Skill Complementarity of Broadband Internet (2015, background): “Beaudry and Green (2003; 2005) and Beaudry, Doms, and Lewis (2010) show the speed and extent of computer adoption are likely endogenous and reflect principles of comparative advantage.”
Do Male-Female Wage Differentials Reflect Differences in the Return to Skill? Cross-City Evidence from 1980-2000 (2014, unknown): “In addition, there is evidence that local labor markets may remain out of spatial equilibrium with other markets for quite some time (Beaudry et al., 2013) and that labor markets adjust slowly to shocks (Blanchard and Katz, 1992). BDL show, in particular, that many of the currently highly educated l”
Winners and losers: a micro-level analysis of international outsourcing and wages (2008, unknown): “Secondly, Beaudry and Green (2003) argue that Germany has been able to avoid increases in wage inequality by following a path of balanced growth in the ratio of physical to human capital as opposed to the US where the accumulation of physical capital was too slow.”
Offshoring, Tasks, and the Skill-Wage Pattern (2013, unknown): “Low-skilled workers in the 10th percentile of interactivity experience cumulated wage cuts of 1.31 euros (8.85 percent) per hour.”
