This study investigates the individual consequences on workers under the effect of increased automation considering the suitability of workers for various tasks. We consider workers with a low ability level. The job mismatch probability of a worker rises (or declines) if machines perform a more...

This study investigates worker productivity in a multiple-task environment. We consider workers with the same education level while their suitability patterns for tasks differ. Under no change in tasks for which they are responsible for, there is no difference in their productivity. If...

This study investigates the labor market under increased automation of middle-skilled jobs wherein worker suitability for these jobs is considered. We examine two effects of increased automation on workers. The first effect is the possibility of replacement of middle-skilled workers by machines....

This study explores automation and employment in a task-based model. Each worker has her own likelihood of job mismatch, represented as her individual mismatch probability (IMP). Her IMP depends on the level of automation and her ability, represented as the number of her unsuitable tasks. The...

This study investigates how the automation of high- and low-skilled labor tasks affects educational investment and the job seeking of workers for either high- or low-skilled labor tasks. We consider the probabilities of worker job mismatch where workers obtain their own set of suitable and...

This paper develops a model that explores automation and unemployment through job availability. In our model, workers differ in terms of their suitability for tasks. Depending on their task suitability, automation leads to either positive or negative effects on their job matching. Each worker...

The aim of this study is to connect two approaches that examine automation. The first uses a task-based model, while the second uses a variant of the canonical constant-elasticity-of-substitution (CES) production function. We employ a task-based model and derive a neoclassical production...
