Changes in relative wages, 1963-1987—Supply and demand factors
- Quarterly Journal of Economics
, 1992
"... A simple supply and demand framework is used to analyze changes in the U. S. wage structure from 1963 to 1987. Rapid secular growth in the demand for more-educated workers, "more-skilled " workers, and females appears to be the driving force behind observed changes in the wage structure. M ..."

A simple supply and demand framework is used to analyze changes in the U. S. wage structure from 1963 to 1987. Rapid secular growth in the demand for more-educated workers, "more-skilled " workers, and females appears to be the driving force behind observed changes in the wage structure
The Labor Demand Curve is Downward Sloping: Reexamining the Impact of Immigration on the Labor Market
- THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS
, 2003
"... Immigration is not evenly balanced across groups of workers that have the same education but differ in their work experience, and the nature of the supply imbalance changes over time. This paper develops a new approach for estimating the labor market impact of immigration by exploiting this variatio ..."

this variation in supply shifts across education-experience groups. I assume that similarly educated workers with different levels of experience participate in a national labor market and are not perfect substitutes. The analysis indicates that immigration lowers the wage of competing workers: a 10 percent
Computing Inequality: Have Computers Changed the Labor Market?
- QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS
, 1998
"... This paper examines the effect of skill-biased technological change as measured by computerization on the recent widening of U. S. educational wage differentials. An analysis of aggregate changes in the relative supplies and wages of workers by education from 1940 to 1996 indicates strong and persis ..."

Foreign Direct Investment and Relative Wages: Evidence from Mexico’s Maquiladoras
- Journal of International Economics
, 1997
"... In this paper, we examine the increase in relative wages for skilled workers in Mexico during the 1980s. Rising wage inequality in Mexico is linked to foreign capital inflows. We study the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the skilled labor share of wages in Mexico over 1975–1988. We meas ..."

measure FDI using regional data on foreign assembly plants. Growth in FDI is positively correlated with the relative demand for skilled labor. In regions where FDI has concentrated, growth in FDI can account for over 50 percent of the increase in the skilled labor wage share that occurred in the late 1980
Increasing Residual Wage Inequality: Composition Effects, Noisy Data, or Rising Demand for Skill?

Opennes and Wage Inequality in Developing Countries: The Latin American Challenge to East Asian Wisdom
- The World Bank Economic Review
, 1997
"... The experience of East Asia in the 1960s and 1970s supports the theory that greater openness to trade tends to narrow the wage gap between skilled and unskilled workers in developing countries. In Latin America since the mid-1980s, however, increased openness has widened wage differentials. This con ..."

unskilled workers. According to conventional wisdom, greater openness to trade in developing countries not only increases efficiency but also reduces wage inequality. Openness boosts the relative demand for unskilled workers and hence narrows the gap in wages (and in unemployment rates) between unskilled
Rethinking the Effect of Immigration on Wages
- Journal of the European Economic Association
, 2012
"... This paper calculates the effects of immigration on the wages of native U.S. workers of various skill levels in two steps. In the first step we use labor demand functions to estimate the elasticity of substitution across different groups of workers. Second, we use the underlying production structure ..."

Trends in US Wage Inequality: Revising the Revisionists

"... A large literature documents a substantial rise in U.S. wage inequality and educational wage differentials during the 1980s and early 1990s and concludes that these wage structure changes can be accounted for by shifts in the supply of and demand for skills reinforced by the erosion of labor market ..."

Why has wage dispersion grown in Mexico? Is it the incidence of reforms or the growing demand for skills

, 1996
"... privatization and deregulation. This coincided with a rapid expansion in wages and employment that led to a rise in wage dispersion. This paper examines the role of industry and occupation-specific effects in explaining the growing dispersion. We find that despite the magnitude and pace of the refor ..."
