Skill-biased technological change: Is there hope for the unskilled?

Matthias M. Weiss ()

Economics Letters, 2008, vol. 100, issue 3, pages 439-441

Abstract: This paper presents a model in which perpetual skill-biased technological change does not lead to ever-increasing wage inequality. The model is consistent with the increase in wage inequality in the 1980s and the subsequent stabilization in the 1990s.
