Computer Knowledge and Earnings : Evidence for Australia

Author

Abstract

The finding from recent analysis in the United States that computer users earn a wage premium of 10 to 15 percent - together with increased usage of computers by high skill workers - has been interpreted as evidence of the role of technological change in generating widening earings differentials between high skill and low skill workers.
