abstract = {This paper analyzes computer use by older male employees and estimates
the impact of computer use on their employment status, based on
individual data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) for the
years 1997 and 2001. In line with previous research on the diffusion of new
technologies, a strong and negative relationship between the age of workers
and computer use is found. In addition, the impact of occupational status
and hourly wage on computer use is significantly positive. However, the
estimated impact of computer use on the change in employment status
of older workers becomes insignificant when controlling for individual and
firm-specific characteristics.},
