for human capital, mobility, and racial and geographical disparaties. We also hint at potential firm- and economy-level consequences, such as collaboration, decision-making, retraining, and automation.
Grateful to @sfiscience.bsky.social for covering our paper.
In many ways, learning is about building layers on layers of knowledge and expertise. It turns out that the depth of these layers and their interdependencies are crucial. We first identify pairwise skill dependencies, and then analyze the structure of the resulting network, covering implications...
structural characteristics—e.g., density & depth—impact wages, career mobility, and inequality. We also discuss the implications of our findings for regional development and firm-level human capital.
