我们调查了印度在经济自由化的二十年期间不断扩大的技能工资差距和缩小的性别工资差距。使用 Katz 和 Murphy 开发的非参数方法 [Katz, L. F., & Murphy, K. M. (1992)。相对工资的变化，1963-87：供给和需求因素。 Quarterly Journal of Economics, 107(1), 35–78]，我们发现相对需求变化导致了相对工资变化，而对熟练劳动力需求的增加主要是由于行业内的技能升级。在评估对外部门改革对熟练劳动力需求的贡献时，我们发现国际制成品贸易使熟练男性受益，但损害了熟练女性，而服务外包则产生了对女性和男性大学毕业生的需求。
We investigate India’s widening skill wage gap and narrowing gender wage differential during the two decades that coincide with the economic liberalization in the country. Using the nonparametric methodology developed by Katz and Murphy [Katz, L. F., & Murphy, K. M. (1992). Changes in relative wages, 1963–87: supply and demand factors. Quarterly Journal of Economics, 107(1), 35–78], we find that relative demand shifts contributed to relative wage shifts and that increases in the demand for skilled labor were mostly due to skill upgrading within industries. In assessing the contribution of external sector reforms to demand for skilled labor, we find that international trade-in manufactures benefited skilled men but hurt skilled women, whereas outsourcing of services generated a demand for both female and male college graduates.
