Abstract

Abstract: Based on quantile regression， the impact of skill-biased technological progress on wages was explored. A theoretical analysis model was established based on the CES production function in order to reveal the varied impacts of skill-biased technological progress on wages. The CHNS data were used with quantile regression to empirically test the theoretical assumptions. The results showed that under the spillover effect of high technology， skill-biased technological progress positively exerts a larger impact on wages， especially on medium-low wages， and vice versa. In addition， wages are also affected by such factors as occupation， workplace， gender， age and other individual characteristics.

Key words: quantile regression, skill-biased technological progress, CES production function, wage level
