- Title
Explaining Job Polarization: Routine-Biased Technological Change and Offshoring<sup>†</sup>.
- Abstract
This paper documents the pervasiveness of job polarization in 16 Western European countries over the period 1993-2010. It then develops and estimates a framework to explain job polarization using routine-biased technological change and offshoring. This model can explain much of both total job polarization and the split into within-industry and between-industry components. (JEL J21, J23, J24, M55, O33)
