Wage inequality and segregation by skill in an assignment model.

Wage inequality and segregation by skill in an assignment model. - 65 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2005.

Some pieces of empirical evidence suggest that, over the last few decades, (i) wage inequality between-plants has risen much more than wage inequality within-plants and (ii) there has been an increase in the segregation of workers by skill into separate plants. This paper presents a frictionless assignment model in which these two features are explained simultaneously as the result of a skill-biased technological change. Additional implications of the model about the skill premium, the dispersion in labor productivity across plants and the wages in the lower tail of the skill distribution are also consistent with the empirical evidence. An extension of the model that incorporates capital allows interpreting the decline in the relative price of capital as a skill-biased technological change, as in Krusell et al. (2000), and it produces basically the same qualitative results. The effect of changes in the economy's skill distribution on wage inequality and on segregation can also be studied within this framework and the results are broadly consistent with Kremer and Maskin (1996).
