The recent rise in wage inequality is usually attributed to skill-biased technical
change (SBTC), associated with new computer technologies. We review the evidence
for this hypothesis, focusing on the implications of SBTC for overall wage inequality
and for changes in wage differentials between groups. A key problem for the SBTC
hypothesis is that wage inequality stabilized in the 1990s despite continuing advances
in computer technology; SBTC also fails to explain the evolution of other dimensions
of wage inequality, including the gender and racial wage gaps and the age gradient
in the return to education.
