Proposition 2: An increase in the pace of technology creation (m(b) rising from m to m') generates a transitory increase in the skill premium (even if the increase is permanent, because new technologies eventually age).
Analytical result (proposition) proved in the paper's model appendix; intuition and special-case (γ=σ) illustrated in text.
high positive THE SKILL PREMIUM IN TIMES OF RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE transitional behavior of skill premium following a change in m(b)
The college premium rose first among young workers and later among older workers; a model extension that assumes younger workers have a comparative advantage in new technologies generates age-specific increases that account for half of the observed age gaps.
Extension of the model with worker demographics; calibration using CPS data on computer use by worker age (showing young workers used computers more intensively initially) and simulation comparing model to observed age-specific wage premium changes.
high positive THE SKILL PREMIUM IN TIMES OF RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE college premium by worker age (timing and magnitude of increase)
Slow diffusion, combined with the rapid pace of technology creation, accounts for 6.2 of the 8.7 log-point differential increase in the skill premium between high- and low-density regions over 1980–2005.
Model calibrated with estimated diffusion rates across regions from the text-based dataset; quantitative decomposition attributing portions of the regional differential to the mechanism.
high positive THE SKILL PREMIUM IN TIMES OF RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE regional differential increase in skill premium (log points) over 1980–2005
The mechanism explains why the college premium is higher in dense cities and why its increase was mainly urban.
Model extension incorporating regional diffusion of technologies combined with estimates of diffusion rates across locations (using the Kalyani et al. dataset); comparison of model predictions to documented urban–rural wage premium patterns.
high positive THE SKILL PREMIUM IN TIMES OF RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE college premium by city density
Total demand for college-educated workers increased by 100 log points since 1980; changes in the pace of technology creation account for one-third of that increase, with the remainder attributed to residual structural changes in production.
Model-based decomposition calibrated to data (demand and supply of college-educated workers since 1980); quantitative accounting exercise reported in the paper.
high positive THE SKILL PREMIUM IN TIMES OF RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE demand for college-educated workers (log points since 1980)
When calibrated to the observed pace of technology creation, the model generates a 28 log-point (32 percent) increase in the college premium between 1980 and 2010, which then flattens and begins to revert.
Quantitative calibration of the model to novel text-based technology data (arrival and diffusion) and wage series (CPS); simulation results.
high positive THE SKILL PREMIUM IN TIMES OF RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE college premium over 1980–2010
The data show a temporary increase in the pace of new technology creation beginning in the 1970s, accelerating in the 1980s, and tapering off in the 2000s.
Time series of identified new technologies from text-based measures (patent text/job posting linkage) covering 1976–2007 (as in Kalyani et al., 2025) used to measure arrival rates by cohort.
high positive THE SKILL PREMIUM IN TIMES OF RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE rate of arrival of new technologies (pace of technology creation)
The pace of technology creation is a key driver of the skill premium: a rapid pace of technology creation leads to a sustained increase in the skill premium (because skilled workers learn to use new technologies faster).
Theoretical model developed in the paper in which new technologies arrive exogenously and skilled workers have a comparative advantage in learning new technologies; supported by calibration using novel text-based data (patent text and job postings) and CPS wage data.

Mapping the empirical time-reallocation into a quantitative household time-allocation model implies generative AI approximately doubles the efficiency of productive online tasks for adopters; preferred calibration implies efficiency gains of 76%–176%.
