Working Paper
Sectoral wage convergence: a nonparametric distributional analysis
Schweitzer, Mark E.; Dupuy, Max (1995)
An examination of the relative shapes of the wage distribution in the U.S. goods-producing and service-producing sectors that uses a nonparametric measure of density overlap to analyze wage differences between the two sectors over time. ; What implications do 21st century monetary innovations bring for holdings of central bank money and standards of value?
