Abstract
The Structure of Labour Demand and Technical Change: An Empirical Investigation for the Federal Republic of Germany. - The estimation of translog models using German industry data for the period 1960–1981 indicates that technical progress is capital-using and at the same time saves blue-collar labour. For some industries, evidence for white-collar labour saving technical progress is found whilst for others white-collar labour using technical change is indicated. The analysis of more disaggregated labour data shows that for white-collar and blue-collar workers alike, technical change favours the higher-skilled performance groups. Furthermore, it is indicated that blue-collar labour is a substitute for white-collar labour and capital, whereas only a weak substitutive and sometimes even complementary relationship exists between white-collar labour and capital.
