In an event study framework, we show their respective effects on employment, yearly working hours, and labor earnings, ...

We find that in Germany during the 1990s, computerization improved the access to technologyadopting occupations for workers with low-educated parents, and reduced their wage penalty within these occupations. We also show that this significantly contributed to ...
