Skill biased technological and organizational change : estimating a mixed simultaneous equation model using the IAB establishment panel
Hujer, Reinhard; Caliendo, Marco; Radić, Dubravko - 2002
Recent years have brought growing evidence for an increasing labour demand for high skilled and a deterioration of the labour position of less skilled employees. The two most common explanations for this finding are an increasing international trade and a skill biased technological change....

Outsourcing of services, imported materials and the demand for heterogeneous labour : an application of a generalised Box-Cox function
Falk, Martin; Koebel, Bertrand M. - 2000
This paper examines the effects that purchased services and imported intermediate materials have on the labour demand for different skills in the manufacturing sector. We derive and estimate a factor demand system based on the generalised Box-Cox cost function nesting both the normalised...
