This paper explores the heterogeneous effects of automation technologies on employment rate with respect to proportion of skilled workers, represented by regions from different income groups. Automation, as measured by both robotic penetration and ICT trade volumes, are replacing US labour...

Existing literature provides striking empirical results about the declining manufacturing employment all over the world. This bare finding brought about clear definition of deindustrialization: "systematic disinvestment in a nation's core manufacturing industries". In some studies we observe...

Support from local citizens is important for the scale-up of renewable energy. We investigate the impact of utility-scale wind and solar parks on employment, GDP and public finances in Brazilian municipalities using a difference-in-differences design with matching. We find a positive employment...

Biotechnology is often regarded as a key technology with high potential for far-reaching social, environmental and economic impacts. Among others, the development and diffusion of biotechnology may have considerable economic effects on production and employment. This paper analyzes the economic...

Building on the literature of labor implications from technological disruptions, this paper provides a comprehensive review of recent research carried out regarding the expected effects of automation on employment levels and performs diverse empirical approaches to estimate the effects for an...

A recent literature documents that manufacturing employment growth in developing countries has been sluggish over the past decades, and that deindustrialization has often set in at historically low levels of income. However, there is little evidence on which kind of jobs are disappearing...

This study quantifies the impact of process and product innovation on employment growth in Bolivia by using microdata from a survey on innovation conducted in Bolivia in 2016. Following the model of Harrison, Jaumandreu, Mairesse, and Peters (2008) and the adaptations for Latin America of Crespi...

This literature review takes stock of what is known about the impact of artificial intelligence on the labour market, including the impact on employment and wages, how AI will transform jobs and skill needs, and the impact on the work environment. The purpose is to identify gaps in the evidence...

At the present stage of automation and robotization in the mining and manufacturing industries, there is a decrease in the demand for labor due to technological solutions that reduce the demand for labor in developed countries. The study put forward a hypothesis about a negative correlation...

We examine the concerns that new technologies will render labor redundant in a framework in which tasks previously performed by labor can be automated and new versions of existing tasks, in which labor has a comparative advantage, can be created. In a static version where capital is fixed and...
