尽管近几十年来发达国家的工资不平等有所演变，但工资不平等的变化及其各国之间的差异在多大程度上归因于特定的资本和劳动力数量仍然未知。我们研究这个问题，通过估计一个部门级的生产函数扩展到允许资本技能互补性和因素偏向的技术变革，使用跨国和跨行业的面板数据。我们的研究结果表明，技能溢价的大部分变化可归因于大多数发达国家商品和服务部门中ICT设备、熟练劳动力和非熟练劳动力的相对数量。
Although wage inequality has evolved in advanced countries over recent decades, it remains unknown the extent to which changes in wage inequality and their differences across countries are attributable to specific capital and labor quantities. We examine this issue by estimating a sector-level production function extended to allow for capital–skill complementarity and factor-biased technological change using cross-country and cross-industry panel data. Our results indicate that most of the changes in the skill premium are attributable to the relative quantities of ICT equipment, skilled labor, and unskilled labor in the goods and service sectors of the majority of advanced countries.
