Тематический раздел:
Are the large measured wage differentials for on-the-job computer use a true return
to computer skills, or do they just reflect that higher wage workers use computers
on their jobs? We examine this issue with three large cross-sectional surveys from
Germany. First, we confirm that the estimated wage differential associated with computer
use in Germany is very similar to the U.S. differential. Second, we also measure
large differentials for on-the-job use of calculators, telephones, pens or pencils,
or for those who work while sitting down. We argue that these findings cast some
doubt on the literal interpretation of the computer use wage differential as reflecting
true returns to computer use or skill.
