Abstract
- Analysis of 17 years of data on engineering jobs was used to estimate a model of hierarchies. About two-thirds of changes in employment share across hierarchy levels was explained by shifts in the supply of skills. Assignment to higher levels was caused by skill accumulation and self-selection rather than technological differences across hierarchies. (Author/SK)
