8 Agenda 1 Some Motivating Figures 2 The Canonical Model 3 International Comparisons of Wage Inequality: Supply, Demand and Institutions
9 Building blocks The simplest framework for interpreting skill premia 1 Competitive supply-demand framework 2 Closed economy setting 3 Factors are paid their marginal products 4 Economy operates on its supply and demand curves This model is a workhorse... It s as common as livestock Can carry a big load Often a bit tired and overburdened
10 The CES Model: Setup Two types of workers, skilled and unskilled (or high and low education, college and non-college, etc.) Types are imperfect substitutes. Why is imperfect substitutability crucial? Suppose that there are L(t) unskilled workers and H(t) skilled workers supplying labor inelastically at time t. The production function for the aggregate economy takes the constant elasticity of substitution (CES) form: Y (t) = [(A l (t)l(t)) ρ + (A h (t)h(t)) ρ ] 1/ρ where ρ 1 [i.e., ρ (, 1)] Ignore capital for now and drop time subscripts
11 The CES Model Aggregate production function: Y (t) = [(A l (t)l(t)) ρ + (A h (t)h(t)) ρ ] 1/ρ where ρ 1 [i.e., ρ (, 1)] Elasticity of substitution is given by σ 1/(1 ρ), ρ (, 1) Reminder: σ is % in relative demand for low (high) skill workers per % in relative wage of high (low) skill workers.
12 The CES Model Aggregate production function Three cases Y (t) = [(A l (t)l(t)) ρ + (A h (t)h(t)) ρ ] 1/ρ 1 σ 0 (or ρ ): Skilled and unskilled workers are Leontief. Fixed proportions. Perfect complements 2 σ (or ρ 1): Skilled and unskilled workers are perfect substitutes. Changes in aggregate supplies affect the price of skill overall. Relative wage of skilled vs. unskilled (w H /w L ) is constant. 3 σ 1 (or ρ 0): Production function is Cobb Douglas, with fixed shares paid to each factor
13 The CES Model Aggregate production function Key distinction Y (t) = [(A l (t)l(t)) ρ + (A h (t)h(t)) ρ ] 1/ρ σ < 1: Gross complements. A reduction in supply of one input reduces demand for the other σ > 1: Gross substitutes. A reduction in supply of one input raises demand for the other
14 A More General Production Function with Skill-Replacing Technologies Y (t) = K α {(1 b (t)) [A l (t)l(t) + B l (t)] ρ + b (t) [A h (t)h(t) + B h (t)] ρ } (1 α)/ρ In prior setup, only factor augmenting technologies Here, B l, B h are directly skill-replacing technologies Intensive versus extensive technical changes b t a technology that shifts the allocation of tasks among factors A l, A h terms are intensive technical changes, augmenting without reallocating K is capital: enters in Hicks-neutral form above, no bearing on skill premium Note that if σ 1, the b (t) terms limit to the exponents in the Cobb-Douglas production function
15 The CES Model Three interpretations of this aggregate model 1 Only one good, skilled and unskilled workers are imperfect substitutes in its production 2 Two-good economy: Consumers have utility function [Y ρ l + Y ρ h ]1/ρ with elasticity of substitution σ = 1/ (1 ρ) Good Y h is produced with Y h = A h H Good Y l is produced with Y l = A l L 3 A mixture of these two where different sectors produce goods that are imperfect substitutes, and high and low education workers are employed in all sectors
16 Wage Setting Given competitive labor markets, wages are set according to marginal products and Two immediate results w L = Y L = Aρ l [Aρ l + A ρ h (H/L)ρ ] (1 ρ)/ρ w H = Y H = Aρ h [Aρ h + Aρ l (H/L) ρ ] (1 ρ)/ρ 1 First w H / (H/L) < 0. Why? 2 Second w L / (H/L) > 0. Why?
17 The CES Model Combining the wage equations to get skill premium π π = w H w L = ( Ah A l ) ρ ( ) (1 ρ) H = L ( Ah A l ) (σ 1)/σ ( ) 1/σ H L Taking logs Notice that ( ) σ 1 ln π = ln σ ( Ah A l ln π ln(h/l) = 1 σ < 0 ) 1 ( ) H σ ln L Relative demand curve for H vs. L is downward sloping (recall that σ 0) For given skill bias, A h /A l, an increase in relative supplies H/L lowers relative wages with elasticity σ (except when?)
18 The CES Model Seriously, WTF is σ? Aggregate production function is an abstraction Not intended to correspond to production function of any given firm Combines substitution in production and consumption across consumers, industries, firms, plants within firms, etc Would expect factors to be less substitutable at the firm level than at the aggregate level Where to aggregate production functions come from? See Jones 2005 QJE, Houthakker 1955 ReStud What are plausible values of σ? Surprising degree of consensus: σ [1, 2]
19 Technical change and the skill premium How does the skill premium respond to a shift in A h /A l? Differentiating ( ) σ 1 ln π = ln σ yields ( Ah A l ln ω ln(a h /A l ) = σ 1 σ, ) 1 ( ) H σ ln L Why would an increase in the productivity of more skilled workers, that is a rise in A h /A l, cause their wages to fall?
20 Summary of key relationships: Skill supplies An exogenous rise in H/L 1 The skill premium π = W H /W L falls 2 Wages of unskilled workers rise 3 Wages of skilled workers decrease 4 Average wages rise provided the skill premium is positive w = LW L + HW H L + H = [(A l) ρ + (A h H/L) ρ ] 1/ρ, 1 + H/L Increasing in H/L provided the skill premium is positive (π > 0 or A ρ h (H/L)ρ A ρ l > 0)
21 Summary of key relationships: Factor-biased technical change An increase in A h, holding A l and L/H constant 1 ω = W H /W L rises if σ > 1, falls if σ < 1, and is unchanged if σ = 1 2 Average wages rise if σ > 0. Why not if σ = 0? 3 Wages of L workers rise if σ <. Why not if σ =? 4 Both W H and W L rise if σ 1. Why not if σ < 1? General takeaway: It s hard for factor-augmenting technical change to lower wages (though of course π may rise)
22 The long term skill bias of technical change Key implication: As H/L increases, the skill premium (π) falls In every advanced country the supply of educated workers has risen dramatically in the past seven decades Yet relative wages of better educated workers have remained consistently above those of less educated U.S. college-educated share rose from 6.4 to 29.7 percent from 1940 to High school dropout share fell from 68 to 9 percent of the workforce Yet, the skill premium in 2000 (measured in a variety of ways) was at or above that of in 1940 (though not above that in 1915 If we believe this model at all, suggests that relative demand for skilled workers must have risen practically everywhere
23 Tinbergen: Education race Jan Tinbergen, 1975 The two preponderant forces at work are technological development, which made for a relative increase in demand and hence in the income ratio... and increased access to schooling, which made for a relative decrease. Translation Long term trend increases towards greater relative demand and greater supply of skilled workers Bursts of supply and/or technologically-induced demand accelerations/decelerations that cause demand to temporarily move out more rapidly than supply or vice versa in some eras.

26 Bringing the model to the data Relative productivity of skilled workers ( ) σ 1 ln π = ln W h /W l = ln σ ( Ah A l ) 1 ( ) H σ ln L The technological parameter is σ 1 σ ln (A h/a l ) or simply (σ 1) ln (A h /A l ) since denominator just a scalar Must have increased considerably since 1939 (i.e., first representative data on skill supplies and wages) How much has (σ 1) ln (A h /A l ) increased? We can observe H/L and π = ln W h /W l If we knew σ, could infer ln (A h /A l ) This approach pioneered by Katz and Murphy 1992
27 If we wanted to estimate this model with time-series data Structural equation ln π = σ 1 σ ln ( Ah A l ) 1 ( ) H σ ln L Add time subscripts to everything except for σ ln π t = γ 0 + γ 1 t + γ 2 ln(h/l) t + e t. We observe (H/L) t and π t Unknowns are σ and (A h /A L ) t γ o is a constant, γ 1 gives the time trend on ( σ 1 σ ) ln(a ht/a Lt ), and ˆγ 2 is an estimate of 1/σ Identification assumptions: (1) ln(h/l) t is exogenous or quasi-fixed; (2) ln(a h /A L )/ t is approximately linear

49 IALS data used by Leuven, Oosterbeek and van Ophem Prose literacy the knowledge and skills needed to understand and use information from texts including editorials, news stories, poems and fiction, Document literacy the knowledge and skills required to locate and use information contained in various formats, including job applications, payroll forms, transportation schedules, maps, tables and graphics; and Quantitative literacy or numeracy the knowledge and skills required to apply arithmetic operations, either alone or sequentially, to numbers embedded in printed materials, such as balancing a checkbook, figuring out a tip, completing an order form or determining the interest on a loan from an advertisement.
50 A Cross-National Supply Demand Analysis: Supply Index Constructing a skill supply measure: s kj Choose a baseline country b, and group workers in all countries into three skill groups k ={low, medium, high} Use as cut-points the values in country b that break the skill distribution (proxied by IALS scores) into three even parts For each country j b, LOvO form a relative skill supply index of: s kj = ln (E kj /E kb ) where E kj, E kb are the shares of total labor input supplied by skill group k in countries j and b respectively (the latter being equal to 1 3 by construction)
51 in different-sized groups of low-, medium- and high-skilled workers in each one of these countries. For example, Table 3 shows that in Japan, 47.4% of the working age population is high-skilled according to this definition, but that in both Italy and Spain more than 50% is low-skilled. Skill Tercile Shares by Country Table 3. Proportion of high-, medium- and low-skilled individuals in the labor force, by country (in %) Country Low Medium High Australia Austria Canada Czech Republic Denmark England/N. Ireland (UK) Estonia Finland Flanders (B) France Germany Ireland Italy Japan Korea Netherlands Norway Poland Slovak Republic Spain Sweden United States The next step is to construct indices which measure how the demand and supply for each skill group in the United States compare to those in the other Broecke, PIAAC countries.

53 A Cross-National Supply Demand Analysis: Demand Index Demand index d kj : Let c ok be base emp share in country b in skill group κ in ind-occ cell o Industries: 1) Agriculture; 2) Mining, manufacturing, and construction; 3) Transportation, communications, and public utilities; 4) Trade; 5) Finance, insurance, real estate, and services; 6) Government Occupations: 1) Managers and professionals; 2) Clerical and sales workers; 3) Craft workers, operatives, laborers, and service workers ( ) d kj = ln c ok E oj E kb where E oj is the country j minus country b in emp share in industry-occupation o E kb is emp share of skill group k in country b (equal to 1 3 )
54 Estimating Equation Regressing rel. wage gap on rel. supply-demand gap: Define w kj as the mean relative wage of skill group k relative to a base skill group in country j LOvO estimate the following model for relative wages: (w kj w kb ) = α + β [(s kj d kj ) (s kb d kb )] + ε j In fact, they do this as a diff-in-diff Let equal the difference between two skill groups k (e.g., w Hj w Lj or w Hj w Mj ( w kj w kb ) = α + β [( s kj d kj ) ( s kb d kb )] + ε j What s the expected sign of β?
