Description

<p>"The increase in earnings inequality in many countries over the past twenty-five years has been a major topic of academic study and policy debate, and many economists believe that technological developments have played a large role in this development. This book goes much further than existing studies and develops the various links between innovation and inequality. Gilles Saint-Paul covers most of the available approaches masterfully but is not afraid to push for a coherent view based on his own research. This book not only breaks new ground but also achieves a nice synthesis of much recent work in economics. This is a must-read for any graduate student or researcher interested in innovation or recent changes in the labor market."<b>--Daron Acemoglu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology</b></p><p>"A well-crafted book offering a rigorous analysis of topical issues from a variety of original perspectives."<b>--Giuseppe Bertola, University of Turin</b></p><p>"An exceptionally interesting, well-exposited, and timely volume."<b>--David Autor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology</b></p>
