productivity (TFP) on the equilibrium relative wage of low-skilled workers in eleven high-income countries. The key finding is that … TFP growth mandated an increase in the unskilled wage, relative to the remuneration of human capital, during the 1970s …, but a decrease during the 1980s. This is consistent with the observation that, in most sample countries, the relative wage …
