Skill‐Biased Policy Change: Governing the Transition to the Knowledge Economy in Germany, Sweden and Britain
How have advanced capitalist democracies transitioned from a Fordist to a post‐Fordist, knowledge‐based economy? And why have they followed seemingly similar policy trajectories despite different economic models and sectoral specializations? We develop the notion of skill‐biased policy change to answer these questions. Drawing on a distinction between valence and partisan issues in the transition to the knowledge economy, we highlight the partisa…
The ICT revolution and preferences for taxing top earners
How has the ICT-driven transformation of labour markets in recent decades affected redistributive preferences? We move beyond existing research by focusing on the ‘winners’ of the ICT revolution and on other-regarding preferences for taxing top earners. We carry out an interactive, online experiment with around 3000 US respondents to test whether fairness perceptions and redistributive preferences differ when top incomes are gained through luck, …
Embedding Skill Bias: Technology, Institutions, and Inequality in Wages and Benefits
Is rising inequality an inevitable consequence of the transition to a knowledge-based economy? Departing from existing approaches in labor economics and comparative political economy, we develop an account of inequality in the knowledge economy that foregrounds the role of labor market institutions. We argue that collective bargaining institutions play a critical role in mediating the skill bias commonly associated with the diffusion of informati…
The knowledge economy and taxes on the rich
What drives taxes on the rich? In this article, we claim that the existing empirical literature on taxing the rich suffers from two key shortcomings: 1) It pays too little attention to the major structural and technological changes that have taken place in advanced capitalist economies since the 1970s; and 2) it lacks consensus on how to measure taxes on the rich. We seek to address these shortcomings by exploring the implications of the rise of …
Skill-Biased Liberalization: Germany's Transition to the Knowledge Economy
This article conceptualizes the evolution of the German political economy as the codevelopment of technological and institutional change. The notion of skill-biased liberalization is introduced to capture this process and contrasted with the two dominant theoretical frameworks employed in contemporary comparative political economy scholarship-dualization and liberalization. Integrating theories from labor economics, the article argues that the in…
Growth Models, Varieties of Capitalism, and Macroeconomics
Lucio Baccaro and Jonas Pontusson make a significant contribution to comparative political economy with their approach to analyzing growth in advanced economies, which focuses on the demand side of the economy and distributive conflict. In contrast to Baccaro and Pontusson, however, we view their approach as reinforcing recent developments in varieties of capitalism rather than undermining them. We also believe that the type of modern macroeconom…
Digital CoPs and Robbers: Communities of Practice and the Use of Digital Artefacts
Over the past decade, the volume of digital content created from artefacts in museum collections has grown exponentially but our understanding of its use has not kept pace with the speed of digitisation. A recent contraction in funding for mass digitisation and pressure to make digital artefacts not just accessible but also usable, has made the need for knowledge about how individuals interact with digital artefacts more pressing. Foregrounding t…
