this paper, we examine the potential effect of the rise of robotic technology on health. The results of the analysis … suggest that higher penetration of industrial robots in the local labor market is positively related to the health of the low … of low-skilled individuals reporting poor health. Further analysis suggests that reallocation of tasks and reduction in …

New processes significantly affect firms and workers; however, due to a lack of quantitative indicators, our … of process innovation and that smaller firms are more likely to introduce new processes and are better able to transform … them into higher output. All five process innovation outputs are associated with higher labor productivity and higher sales …

research design focuses on a technology subsidy program in Finland that induced sharp increases in technology investment in … manufacturing firms. Our data directly measure multiple technologies and skills and track firms and workers over time. We … product. We document that firms used new technologies to produce new types of output rather than replace workers with …

In a static version where capital is fixed and technology is exogenous, automation reduces employment and the labor …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 …

To rationalize a substantial income share of labor despite progressive task automation over the centuries, we present a … the growth path. This is why labor keeps up a substantial fraction of income. Real capital, however, that is capital … measured in units of the quality of some base year, becomes abundant relative to labor. While our model features an entirely …
