Importance
Well-connected application of CES to Acemoglu's directed technical change framework. The sigma=2 threshold is important but the core DTC theory is not novel to this project.
Novelty
Known Acemoglu result restated in CES framework with the specific sigma=2 threshold. The CES-specific formulation adds some value but the core results are well-established.
Quality
Good article at 5098 chars with clear presentation of the sigma=2 threshold and its implications for skill premium dynamics.
