Abstract

The effects of equipment investment on relative wages and employment of skilled labor are estimated. The basic hypothesis is that such effecst are positive, due to the presence of either equipment-skill complementarity or skill advantage in technology adoption. Using a panel data set for a wide range of countries, the relative wage and relative employment of skilled workers are regressed on lagged investment in machinery and other relevant variables.
