摘要：

This paper examines the impact of investment-specific technological change on labor cornposition in U.S. manufacturing industries from 1974 to 1994. 1 show that investment-specific technological change increases the relative demand of non-production workers to production workers, while TFP growth does not change labor composition. Moreover, I find that the demand of skilled labor is stronger in the durable goods sector whereas the deskilling effect is stronger in the non-durable goods sector. (c) 2007 Elsevier B. V.
