Technical Change, Inequality, and The Labor Market

by Daron Acemoglu - Journal of Economic Literature , 2002
"... This essay discusses the effect of technical change on wage inequality. I argue that the behavior of wages and returns to schooling indicates that technical change has been skill-biased during the past sixty years. Furthermore, the recent increase in inequality is most likely due to an acceleration ..."

University of PennsylvaniaHousehold-level panel data from a nationally representative sample of rural Indian households describing the adoption and profitability of high-yielding seed varieties (HYVs) associated with the Green Revolution are used to test the implications of a model incorporating learning-by-doing and learning spillovers. The estimates indicate that: (i) imperfect knowledge about the management of the new seeds was a significant barrier to adoption; (ii) this barrier diminished as farmer experience with the new technologies increased; (iii) own experience and neighbors ' experience with HYV significantly increased HYV profitability; (iv) farmers do not fully incorporate the village returns to learning in making adoption decisions 1 I.

Labor- and Capital-Augmenting Technical Change

"... I analyze an economy in which pro...t-maximizing ...rms can undertake both laboror capital-augmenting technological improvements. In the long run, the economy looks like the standard growth model with purely labor-augmenting technical change, and the share of labor in GDP is constant. Along the tran ..."

Energy-saving technical change,

by John Hassler , Per Krusell † Conny Olovsson , 2012
"... We estimate an aggregate production function with constant elasticity of substitution between energy and a capital/labor composite using U.S. data. The implied measure of energysaving technical change appears to respond strongly to the oilprice shocks in the 1970s and has a negative medium-run corr ..."

The Environment and Directed Technical Change

by Daron Acemoglu, Philippe Aghion, Leonardo Bursztyn, David Hemous , 2009
"... This paper introduces endogenous and directed technical change in a growth model with environmental constraints and limited resources. A unique final good is produced by combining inputs from two sectors. One of these sectors uses “dirty” machines and thus creates environmental degradation. Research ..."

"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

For these reasons, the major value of socio-technical systems theory appears to be its considerable usefulness as a way of thinking about work systems and their redesign. In its present form, it has only limited use in generating new understanding through quantitative
