• Sommario/riassunto: In no economy do all employees fare equally. Some variation stems from innate worker heterogeneity, some from differential human capital investment, some from imperfect information, some from demand shocks, some from asymmetric technological change, and some from government policies. This volume contains new research relating these factors to worker earnings and well-being in a changing economy.
