Legislation, Regulation and Litigation: Demand for U.S. Legal Services in Historical Perspective
Production Function Estimation with Multi-Destination Firms
Techies and Firm Level Productivity
We study the impact of techies—engineers and other technically trained workers—on firm-level productivity. We first report new facts on the role of techies in the firm by using French administrative data and unique surveys. Techies are STEM-skill intensive and are associated with innovation, as well as with technology adoption, management, and diffusion within firms. Using structural econometric methods, we estimate the causal effect of techies o…

Techies, Trade, and Skill-Biased Productivity
We study the impact of firm level choices of ICT, R&D, exporting and importing on the evolution of productivity, its bias towards skilled workers, and the implications for labor demand. We use a novel measure of firm-level technology: firms' employment of workers in occupations related to R&D and ICT adoption, who we call "techies". We develop a methodology for estimating nested CES production functions at the firm level, which allows us to measu…

The March of the Techies: Technology, Trade, and Job Polarization in France, 1994-2007
The March of the Techies: Technology, Trade, and Job Polarization in France, 1994-2007
Using administrative employee-firm-level data on the entire private sector from 1994 to 2007, we show that the labor market in France has polarized: employment shares of high and low wage occupations have grown, while middle wage occupations have shrunk. During the same period, the share of hours worked in technology-related occupations ("techies") grew substantially, as did imports and exports, and we explore the causal links between these trend…
Skill‐biased heterogeneous firms, trade liberalization and the skill premium
We propose a theory that rising globalization and rising wage inequality are related because trade liberalization raises the demand facing highly competitive skill‐intensive firms. In our model, only the lowest‐cost firms participate in the global economy exactly along the lines of Melitz. In addition to differing in their productivity, firms differ in their skill intensity. We model skill‐biased technology as a correlation between skill intensit…

Wages and Human Capital in Finance: International Evidence, 1970-2005
Trade Liberalization, Capital Imports, and Wage Inequality in Skill-Scarce Economies: The Role of Capital-(un)Skill Complementarity and Skill-Biased Capital Mobility
An International Look at the Growth of Modern Finance
We study the rise of finance across a set of now-industrial economies. The long-run pattern of the growth of the income share of finance from the nineteenth century to current times in the United States is similar to some economies, but not all economies reach the same size and instead reach a plateau. The relationship between financial output and income is nonhomothetic and changes three times in this sample. Most of the increase in real GDP per…
Wages and Human Capital in the U.S. Finance Industry: 1909–2006
We study the allocation and compensation of human capital in the U.S. finance industry over the past century. Across time, space, and subsectors, we find that financial deregulation is associated with skill intensity, job complexity, and high wages for finance employees. All three measures are high before 1940 and after 1985, but not in the interim period. Workers in finance earn the same education-adjusted wages as other workers until 1990, but …
Why Does Capital Flow to Rich States
The magnitude and the direction of net international capital flows do not fit neoclassical models. The fifty U.S. states comprise an integrated capital market with very low barriers to capital flows, which makes them an ideal testing ground for neoclassical models. We develop a simple frictionless open economy model with perfectly diversified ownership of capital and find that capital flows among the states are consistent with the model. Therefor…
Wages and Human Capital in the U.S. Financial Industry: 1909-2006
We use detailed information about wages, education and occupations to shed light on the evolution of the U.S. financial sector over the past century. We uncover a set of new, interrelated stylized facts: financial jobs were relatively skill intensive, complex, and highly paid until the 1930s and after the 1980s, but not in the interim period. We investigate the determinants of this evolution and find that financial deregulation and corporate acti…
Trade And Harmonization: If Your Institutions Are Good, Does It Matter If They Are Different
"Good institutional quality (function) and similar institutional design (form) can promote international trade by reducing transactions costs. The authors evaluate the relative importance of function versus form in a gravity model, using an indicator of different legal systems as a proxy for differences in form, together with indicators of overall institutional quality. They find that good institutions promote trade much more than similar legal s…
