Building on the task-based approach of technological change, this paper discusses the interaction between occupational polarization (e.g. a gradual increase of native employment in the lowest and highest-paying jobs) and employment opportunities of immigrant workers. Using high quality...

Over the recent decades, wide-spread automation has led to a shift of the US labor force from occupations intensive in routine tasks into occupations intensive in manual and abstract tasks. I integrate routine-biased technological change into an incomplete markets model with occupation-specific...

This paper analyzes the polarization of employment and wages in Germany between 1979 and 2006, focusing on the role of technological progress. We exploit spatial variation in the exposure to technological progress which arises due to initial regional specialization in routine task-intensive...

This paper uses the task-based view of technological change to study employment and wage polarization at the level of local labor markets in Germany between 1979 and 2007. In order to directly relate technological change to subsequent employment trends, we exploit variation in the regional task...

The past four decades have witnessed dramatic changes in the structure of employment. In particular, the rapid increase in computational power has led to large-scale reductions in employment in jobs that can be described as intensive in routine tasks. These jobs have been shown to be...

Wage inequality in Portugal has increased over the last thirty years, with two distinct periods. The period from 1984 … to the mid-90s witnessed strong increases in both upper- and lower-tail inequality. A shortage of skills combined with … skill-biased technological changes were at the core of this evolution. Since the mid-90s, lower-tail inequality has …
