Skills, productivity, and wages: Theory and evidence

该项目旨在建立一个宏观经济模型，以帮助理解工人技能的异质性对工资和生产率的影响。 这个项目的研究意义在于，它将工人技能视为一个不可分割的捆绑包。这种技能的捆绑导致一种特定技能在不同职业中定价不同的可能性，这反过来又对公司投资于技术和培训的激励以及工人投资于教育的激励产生影响。 该项目使用最先进的经济理论和实证方法，期望对工资增长的来源有一个新的、更好的理解，帮助指导国家在创新和培训方面的政策形成。

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.
