Neutral Technological Change and the Skill Premium

No 385, CESifo Working Paper Series from CESifo

Abstract: We construct a two sector general equilibrium model in which one sector produces a homogeneous good and the other sector produces a vertically differentiated good. We demonstrate that uniform (across sectors) and (Hicks) neutral technological change can cause an increase in the skill premium.
