Recenzii
Diwan and Chakraborty identify the industries that form the high-technology sector, industries that account for one fifth to one quarter of total manufacturing. Historically, the United States has had a comparative advantage in these industries, but the strength in high technology appears to be eroding. This pattern is consistent with a progressive wave of deindustrialization that began with labor intensive industries, then inundated heavy industry, and now is threatening high technology. The authors recommend promoting high technology through targeting R&D and having corporations spend more funds on worker training. They justify the latter recommendation on the basis of their finding that skilled labor and capital are complements in the high-tech sector. This book evolved from a dissertation and contains detailed explanation of statistical and theoretical matters that will distract the nonspecialist. University collections.
