The Effects of Technological Change on Schooling and Training Human Capital Working Paper, Department of Economics, York University, February 2011 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Economics, York University Keyword(s): Human Capital; Schooling; Technology/Technological Changes; Training Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study investigates the differential effects of technological change on general human capital acquired through schooling and technology-specific human capital acquired through training based on a life-cycle human capital investment model. Using data from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79 (1987-2003), I find that training human capital is more vulnerable to obsolescence due to technological change than is schooling human capital for both high-ability and low-ability individuals. This suggests that individuals with more schooling enjoy an advantage in dealing with technological change over those with less schooling. |
