Relative demand shifts and unemployment
Everywhere in the OECD, there has been a shift in relative labor demand away from low-skill workers towards high-skill workers. In the United States, this has led to a decrease in the relative wage of low-skill workers. In Europe, constraints on the relative wage of low-skill workers have led instead to an increase in their unemployment rate, and thus an overall increase in unemployment. As Kru...

One of the most inaonc~lusive debates in the history of American academic economics is the debate over the impact of structural shifts in the economy on employment conditions.

We show that an improvement in the wage or employment status of either an agent’s direct or indirect contacts leads to an increase in the agent’s employment probability and expected wages, in the sense of first order stochastic dominance. A similar effect results from an increase in th...
