What happens when agent T gets a computer? The labor market impact of cost efficient computer adoption

Article Abstract:

A model of how computer technology has changed the labor market is developed, demonstrating that wage differentials between computer users and non-users are consistent with computers first being introduced in high-wage jobs following cost efficiency. The model reveals that neither differences in computer skills nor complementary skills are needed to explain wage differentials between users and non-users, skill upgrading, and the changing organization and intensity of work.
