Education Expansion, Technological Change, and the Decreasing Wage Premium

The wage gap between educated and uneducated workers has grown quickly in the 1970s and the 1980s in the US, despite the uninterrupted rise in the relative supply of educated workers. Since the 2000s however, the education wage premium has stagnated in many western economies. I examine the heterogeneity of the graduate wage premium evolution to age, as its decrease is particularly sharp for young workers. I investigate three channels to explain this decrease: the rise of the educated workers relative supply, changes in demand brought by technological change, and sorting between workers and firms. To do so, I build a model of one-to-many matching, which uses the most recent advances in matching theory and computational matching to make predictions both on wages and matching. The model affords flexibility in identification that lets me estimate sorting between workers and firms as well as varying elasticities of substitution over time. I estimate the model on Portuguese administrative data and I find evidence of skill-biased technological change that has increased the demand for educated workers. However the magnitude of technological change varies by industry, and I find that young educated workers favor industries where technological change is most modest.
