Technology and the Demand for Skill : An Analysis of Within and Between Firm Differences

Abowd, John M. - 2007

We estimate the effects of technology investments on the demand for skilled workers using longitudinally integrated employer-employee data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics Program infrastructure files spanning two Economic Censuses (1992 and 1997). We...

The Micro and Macro Productivity of Nations

Ayerst, Stephen; Nguyen, Duc; Restuccia, Diego - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

We examine aggregate productivity differences across nations using cross-country firm-level data and a quantitative model of production heterogeneity with distortions featuring operation decisions (selection) and productivity-enhancing investments (technology). Empirically, less developed...

Technology, Unemployment, and Inflation

Mincer, Jacob - 2000

We explore the response of employment (unemployment) skill differentials to skill-biased shifts in demand touched off by the new and spreading technologies. We find that skill differentials in unemployment follow at least in part the same pattern as skill differentials in wages: They widen...

R & D Activities and the Technology Game : A Dynamic Model of U.S.-JapanCompetition

Sato, Ryuzo - 1984

This paper presents an international comparison of R&D activities in basic and applied research. The commonly-held view that Japan is not spending much on basic technology development cannot be empirically substantiated from the study of the historical trends. However, the fact that in the...

‘Mechanization Takes Command’ : Inanimate Power and Labor Productivity in Late Nineteenth Century American Manufacturing

Atack, Jeremy - 2020

During the nineteenth century, the US manufacturing sector shifted away from the "hand labor" mode of production, characteristic of artisan shops, to the "machine labor" of the factory. This was the focus of an extremely detailed but extraordinarily complex study by the Commissioner of Labor...

The Response of Hours to a Technology Shock : Evidence Based on Direct Measures of Technology

Christiano, Lawrence J. - 2004

We investigate what happens to hours worked after a positive shock to technology, using the aggregate technology series computed in Basu, Fernald and Kimball (1999). We conclude that hours worked rise after such a shock

Universities as a Source of Commercial Technology : A Detailed Analysis of University Patenting 1965-1988

Henderson, Rebecca - 1995

This paper explores changes in university patenting behavior between 1965 and 1988. We show that university patents have increased 15-fold while real university research spending almost tripled. The causes of this increase are unclear, but may include increased focus on commercially relevant...

Technology and Trade

Grossman, Gene M. - 1994

We survey research on the relationship between technology and trade. We begin with the old literature, which treated the state of technology as exogenous and asked how changes in technology affect the trade pattern and welfare. Recent research has attempted to endogenize technological progress...
