How Robots Change Within-Firm Wage Inequality
Barth, Erling - 2020
Using novel matched employer-employee register data with firm-level information on the introduction of industrial robots, this paper analysis the impact of robots on the wages of workers in the manufacturing sector. The results show that industrial robots increase wages for high-skilled workers...

Flexible Working and Couples' Coordination of Time Schedules
Bryan, Mark L. - 2014
Using previously unexploited data on time scheduling in the employment and household contexts, we investigate the effect of flexible working on couples' coordination of their daily work time schedules in the UK. We consider three distinct dimensions of flexible working: flexibility of daily...

Combining Microsimulation and Optimization to Identify Optimal Flexible Tax-Transfer Rules
Colombino, Ugo - 2020
We use a behavioural microsimulation model embedded in a numerical optimization procedure in order to identify optimal (social welfare maximizing) tax-transfer rules. We consider the class of tax-transfer rules consisting of a universal basic income and a tax defined by a 4th degree polynomial....

SISTA : Learning Optimal Transport Costs Under Sparsity Constraints
Carlier, Guillaume; Dupuy, Arnaud; Galichon, Alfred; … - 2021
In this paper, we describe a novel iterative procedure called SISTA to learn the underlying cost in optimal transport problems. SISTA is a hybrid between two classical methods, coordinate descent ("S"-inkhorn) and proximal gradient descent ("ISTA"). It alternates between a phase of exact...

Robots, Labor Markets, and Family Behavior
Anelli, Massimo - 2019
on regional industry specialization before the advent of robots combined with the growth of robot adoption by industry … regions affected by intense robot penetration experienced a decrease in new marriages, and an increase in both divorce and …-of-wedlock births. Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the changes in labor markets triggered by robot adoption …

Robots at Work : Automatable and Non Automatable Jobs
Josten, Cecily - 2019
This study builds on Autor and Dorn's (2013) classification of automatable work at the three-digit occupation code level to identify additional jobs that will be automatable in the next decade by drawing on patent data. Based on this new classification the study provides estimates of the share...

Robots and the Origin of their Labour-Saving Impact
Montobbio, Fabio - 2020
This paper investigates the presence of explicit labour-saving heuristics within robotic patents. It analyses innovative actors engaged in robotic technology and their economic environment (identity, location, industry), and identifies the technological fields particularly exposed to...
