This book is obligatory reading for those interested in the state of the art of research on biased technology across countries and over time. -Antonio Ciccone, University of Mannheim Caselli shatters the view that technology can flow effortlessly across countries. He shows that the technology used in rich countries favors skilled workers, though not equipment and structures, whereas the ... Read more
