Skill-Biased Technological Change in Denmark : A Disaggregate Perspective
Malchow-Moeller, Nikolaj; Skaksen, Jan Rose - 2021
In this paper, we provide an industry-level analysis of skill-biased technological change (SBTC) in Denmark over the last two decades. The analysis shows that SBTC has varied considerably across industries, and traditionally large Danish industries have experienced relatively less SBTC. This may...

An Account of Geographic Concentration Patterns in Europe
Brülhart, Marius; Traeger, Rolf - 2010
This paper provides a methodologically rigorous description of sectoral location patterns across Western European regions over the 1975-2000 period. To measure geographic concentration, we use decomposable entropy indices and associated bootstrap tests. In addition, we estimate locational...

The origin and location of entrants in the evolution of the U.S. tire industry
Bünstorf, Guido; Klepper, Steven - 2004 - This version: May 2004
During its early and formative years, the U.S. tire industry was heavily concentrated around Akron, Ohio. We test the extent to which entrants in Ohio were attracted to the Akron area by agglomeration benefits, contributing to a self-reinforcing process envisioned in many modern theories of...

Skill premiums and the supply of young workers in Germany
Glitz, Albrecht; Wissmann, Daniel - 2017
In this paper, we study the development and underlying drivers of skill premiums in Germany between 1980 and 2008. We show that the significant increase in the medium to low skill wage premiums since the late 1980s was almost exclusively concentrated among the group of workers aged 30 or below....
