| contents | Technological change and income distribution in Europe Cristiano Perugini Fabrizio Pompei This article provides empirical evidence of the link between technological change and overall income inequality in 14 EU countries. The analysis begins by testing the skill-biased technological change (SBTC) hypothesis in sectors with different levels of technology intensity. After confirming the skill complementarity of technology and the predominantly skill-replacing character of investment, the analysis turns to sectoral changes in skilled-labour demand as a possible determinant of income inequality. It finds a non-linear relationship between SBTC and inequality in five of the eight sectors considered, suggesting an inverted U-shaped pattern that can be explained by stages in labour demand and supply adjustments over time. 10.1111/j.1564-913X.2009.00051.x DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1564-913X.2009.00051.x publication.journalArticle |
