Automation and polarization
Acemoglu, Daron; Löbbing, Jonas - 2023
We develop an assignment model of automation. Each of a continuum of tasks of variable complexity is assigned to either capital or one of a continuum of labor skills. We characterize conditions for interior automation, whereby tasks of intermediate complexity are assigned to capital. Interior...

Higher-order income risk over the business cycle
Busch, Christopher; Ludwig, Alexander - 2020
We extend the canonical income process with persistent and transitory risk to shock distributions with left-skewness and excess kurtosis, to which we refer as higherorder risk. We estimate our extended income process by GMM for household data from the United States. We find countercyclical...

The impact of unions on wages in Brazilian manufacturing
Arbache, Jorge Saba - 1998
The empirical literature on the impact of unions on wages has stressed two major conclusions. Firstly, unionised workers earn a wage premium when compared to comparable nonunionised workers. Secondly, the dispersion of wages within the union sector is lower than in the nonunion sector. We...

Disproportionality measures of concentration, specialization, and polarization
Bickenbach, Frank (contributor); Bode, Eckhardt (contributor) - 2006
The paper extends the methodological toolbox of measures of industrial concentration and regional specialization. First, a taxonomy is proposed which gives rise to a modular construction system for disproportionality measures based on three characteristic features: the projection function, the...

A new inequality-sensitive multidimensional deprivation index (MDI) for dichotomous variables
Espinoza-Delgado, José; Silber, Jacques - 2021
In this paper, we propose to use the so-called Sen-Shorrocks poverty index (Shorrocks, 1995) to measure …, the most common case in the literature, and introduce a rank-dependent multidimensional poverty index for multiple binary … indicators using a counting approach. The resulting multidimensional deprivation index, or MDI for short, also has a nice …
