This paper examines the role of skilled labor in the growth of total factor productivity. We use panel data from … manufacturing industries to assess the extent to which productivity growth in yearly cross section is tied to industry shares of … skilled labor inputs. We find robust evidence that productivity growth was increasingly concentrated in high-skill industries …
