The effect of recent technological change on US immigration policy

Brey, Björn - 2021

Did recent technological change, in the form of automation, affect immigration policy in the United States? I argue that as automation shifted employment from routine to manual occupations at the bottom end of the skill distribution, it increased competition between natives and immigrants,...

Top incomes, rising inequality, and welfare

Lansing, Kevin J.; Markiewicz, Agnieszka - 2012

This paper develops a general-equilibrium model of skill-biased technological change that approximates the observed shifts in the shares of wage and non-wage income going to the top decile of U.S. households since 1980. Under realistic assumptions, we find that all agents can benefit from the...

Skills substitutability and technological progress : U.S. states 1950-1990

Ciccone, Antonio; Peri, Giovanni - 2003

In this article we estimate the long-run aggregate elasticity of substitution between skilled and unskilled workers. This is an important parameter as it allows us to compute the skill biased technological progress (SBTP) from the evolution of relative wages. However, it is hard to estimate...
