A task-based theory of occupations with multidimensional heterogeneity
Ocampo Díaz, Sergio - 2022
I develop an assignment model of occupations with multidimensional heterogeneity in production tasks and worker skills …. Tasks are distributed continuously in the skill space, whereas workers have a discrete distribution with a finite number of … types. Occupations arise endogenously as bundles of tasks optimally assigned to a type of worker. The model allows us to …
