This project aims to build a macroeconomic model to help understand the implications of heterogeneity in workers skills for wages and productivity. The research significance of this project is in its treatment of worker skills as an indivisible bundle. This bundling of skills gives rise to the possibility that a given skill is priced differently in different occupations which in turn has implications for firms' incentives to invest in technology and training and workers' incentives to invest in education. This project uses state of the art economic theory and empirical methods and expects to provide a new and better understanding of the sources of wage growth that helps guide national policy formation in innovation and training.

该项目旨在建立一个宏观经济模型，以帮助理解工人技能异质性对工资和生产率的影响。 本课题的研究意义在于将工人技能作为一个不可分割的整体来对待。这种技能的捆绑导致了特定技能在不同职业中定价不同的可能性，这反过来又影响了公司投资技术和培训的激励措施以及工人投资教育的激励措施。 该项目使用最先进的经济理论和实证方法，并期望提供一个新的和更好的理解工资增长的来源，有助于指导国家政策的创新和培训的形成。
