Labour-saving automation and occupational exposure : a text-similarity measure

Montobbio, Fabio; Staccioli, Jacopo; Virgillito, Maria … - 2021

This paper represents one of the first attempts at building a direct measure of occupational exposure to robotic labour-saving technologies. After identifying robotic and LS robotic patents retrieved by Montobbio et al. (2022), the underlying 4-digit CPC definitions are employed in order to...
