Benign Effects of Automation: New Evidence from Patent Texts

Katja Mann et al.

Summary: We introduce a novel measure of automation based on patents and investigate its impact on employment. By categorizing all U.S. patents granted between 1976 and 2014 into automation or nonautomation patents, we observe a significant increase in the quantity and proportion of automation patents. We link these patents to specific industries and commuting zones. Utilizing an instrumental variables strategy that relies on independent innovations from U.S. labor market trends, we find that automation technology has a positive influence on employment at the local level, particularly through job growth in the service sector.

Technological Risk and Policy Preferences

Aina Gallego et al.

Summary: Based on original survey data from Spain, most workers believe that the impact of new technologies in the workplace is positive, but there is a concerned minority, mainly among those at higher risk of technological displacement. Workers are more likely to prefer policies to slow down technological change, indicating their concerns about the risks of technological displacement.

Social Investment, Redistribution or Basic Income? Exploring the Association Between Automation Risk and Welfare State Attitudes in Europe

Marius R. Busemeyer et al.

Summary: This paper explores the implications of technological change for welfare state attitudes and preferences, finding that individual automation risk is positively associated with support for redistribution, but negatively with support for social investment policies. Support for basic income, however, does not show a statistically significant association with automation risk. The overall size of the welfare state moderates the micro-level association between risk and preferences.

Misattributed blame? Attitudes toward globalization in the age of automation

Nicole Wu

Summary: Many people blame globalization for their economic difficulties, but are more forgiving towards robots and machines that have led to job polarization, rising income inequality, and labor displacement. This study shows that workers facing higher risks of automation are more likely to oppose free trade agreements and favor immigration restrictions, even after controlling for other factors. It questions the assumption that individuals fully understand and correctly identify the sources of their economic anxieties.

Neither Left Behind nor Superstar: Ordinary Winners of Digitalization at the Ballot Box

Aina Gallego et al.

Summary: This article examines the impact of workplace digitalization on political preferences among the entire active labor force by combining individual-level panel data from the United Kingdom with industry-level data on information and communication technology capital stocks between 1997 and 2017. The research findings highlight that digitalization economically benefits workers with middle and high levels of education, increases support for the Conservative Party and the incumbent party, and boosts voter turnout among beneficiaries of economic change.

Economic Decline, Social Identity, and Authoritarian Values in the United States

Cameron Ballard-Rosa et al.

Summary: The backlash against globalization in the United States has a significant authoritarian character, which is exacerbated by sustained economic decline affecting the social identity of dominant groups. Local economic and demographic conditions interact to shape individuals' responses to economic decline, with more diverse regions facing increased competition from imports showing higher levels of authoritarian values. This trend was also reflected in the vote choices in the 2016 Presidential election.

Directed Technical Change in Labor and Environmental Economics

David Hemous et al.

Summary: It is increasingly clear that technological change responds to economic incentives. The literature on directed technical change in environmental economics and labor economics shows theoretical and empirical similarities. Lack of a balanced growth path is related to slow development of green technologies and growing inequality. The efficiency of innovation direction is discussed.

The discursive construction of digitalization: a comparative analysis of national discourses on the digital future of work

Matteo Marenco et al.

Summary: The development of digital work is influenced by countries' responses to it, and different countries' perceptions of digitalization will affect their responses. The framing and contention of digitalization in each country show clear differences due to institutional variations. Actors can challenge and change institutions by using discursive agency.

Individual vulnerability to industrial robot adoption increases support for the radical right

Massimo Anelli et al.

Summary: The study found that individuals more exposed to automation tend to display higher support for the radical right, a result that is robust to other identified drivers of radical-right support. Analysis at the individual level can more clearly reveal indicators of economic distress and political dissatisfaction compared to regional-level analysis.

The Robot Revolution: Managerial and Employment Consequences for Firms

Jay Dixon et al.

Summary: Robots, as a new general-purpose technology, have the potential to significantly transform employment and organizational structures. Contrary to previous predictions, investments in robots may lead to an increase in total firm employment but a decrease in the number of managers, while also expanding the span of control for supervisors. The adoption of robots is primarily driven by a desire to enhance product and service quality rather than reduce labor costs, and it leads to changes in skill composition within the organization as well as adaptations in organizational structure.

THE ADJUSTMENT OF LABOR MARKETS TO ROBOTS

Wolfgang Dauth et al.

Summary: The introduction of industrial robots in Germany has led to job displacement in manufacturing, but has also created new job opportunities in the service sector. The impact is mainly felt by young workers entering the labor force. Automation has resulted in more stable employment for existing employees within companies, with new jobs being of higher quality.

Robots and the gender pay gap in Europe

Cevat Giray Aksoy et al.

Summary: Robotization is found to increase earnings for both men and women, but also leads to a widening gender pay gap, especially in countries with high initial levels of gender inequality. This is due to the fact that men in medium- and high-skill occupations benefit more from robotization.

Voting for Populism in Europe: Globalization, Technological Change, and the Extreme Right

Helen V. Milner

Summary: Economic globalization has led to an increase in support for extreme right parties, particularly in terms of trade and technological change. The financial crisis has further strengthened support for populist right parties and worsened the decline in support for mainstream left parties, with social welfare compensation failing to mitigate these political trends.

Globalization, robotization, and electoral outcomes: Evidence from spatial regressions for Italy

Mauro Caselli et al.

Summary: Criticism of economic globalization and technological progress has gained support in Italy in the last two decades, with varying electoral outcomes across the country due to different exposure of local labor markets. This study analyzes the impact of global economic phenomena on local electoral outcomes associated with discontent, revealing that all these global factors had an impact on political outcomes in different ways over time. The results suggest that global drivers interact with political supply elements, and political spillovers across neighboring areas add to the direct impact of locally mediated economic factors.

ROBOTS AND FIRMS

Michael Koch et al.

Summary: The study found that Spanish manufacturing firms with better performance indicators are more likely to adopt robots, while firms that are more skill-intensive are less likely to do so. Robot adoption can lead to substantial output gains within four years, a decrease in labor costs, and net job creation. Additionally, there is a positive causal effect of robots on productivity and a complementarity between robots and exporting in boosting productivity.
