The Wage Effect of Computer-use in Norway
By Wolday, Fitwi H.
Working Paper 3/2006

Abstract |
Use of computers at work has undeniably transformed the way
jobs are organized but is there productivity premium attached to
their use? This paper employs earnings functions to estimate
various specifications in an attempt to investigate the
relationship between computer use and wages. We utilize a
Norwegian cross-section data and a comprehensive set of
control variables. In addition we specify literacy skills scores in an
effort to control for skills termed as unobservable in many
previous researches on this subject. Our estimates provide a
proof that no substantial premium is attached to computer use
at work. |
