This paper uses longitudinal test data to analyze the relation between retirement and cognitivedevelopment. Controlling for individual fixed effects, we find that retirees face greater declinesin information processing speed than those who remain employed. However, remarkably, theircognitive...

In this paper, we estimate the demand for workers by sector and occupation using system dynamic OLS techniques to account for the employment dynamics dependence across occupations and sectors of industry. The short run dynamics are decomposed into intra and intersectoral dynamics. We find that...

This paper proposes an assignment model where sorting occurs on attributes that are simultaneously a skill (Sattinger, 1979) and a preference (Tinbergen, 1956). The key feature of this model is that the wage function admits both jobs'' and workers'' attributes as arguments. Since this function...

In this paper, I show that Hicks neutral technical change is identified as the information of order sigma obtained if the distribution of factor prices is replaced by the distribution of factor efficiency parameters. Together with Solow's residual, the information method enables us to...

We develop a new model to explain the occupational structure of Dutchsectors of industry. The non-homothetic production function we use takesaccount of capital-skill complementarities, skill-biased technological changeand the interaction between labour demand and supply.We estimate the...

An important factor of shifts in the skills composition of the workforceis the upgrading of the qualifications demanded in the variousjobs in the economy, the so-called skill-upgrading. This skill-upgradingis principally caused by the development of new technologies that demandmore or different...
