| Tiivistelmä: | A common theme in the labour economics literature is that use of advanced technology in production requires a skilled and educated workforce. Using a new survey of production processes at US manufacturing plants, the authors ask whether plants that employ advanced technology require a skilled workforce. The authors find that plants that use the most advanced technology pay the highest wages and employ the greatest fraction of non-production workers. The inclusion in standard wage regressions of variables that indicate the use of advanced technology reduces the size-wage premia by as much as 60% for some size categories. |
