We find that automation displaces employment and reduces labor’s share of value-added in the industries in which it originates (a direct effect). In the case of employment, these own-industry losses are reversed by indirect gains in customer industries and induced increases in aggregate demand.

7/15/2018 · Is Automation Labor – Displacing ? Productivity Growth, Employment, and the Labor Share. David Autor and Anna Salomons. Many technological innovations replace workers with machines, but this capital- labor substitution need not reduce aggregate labor demand because it simultaneously induces four countervailing responses: own-industry output effects; cross-industry input–output effects;.
6/13/2019 · Is automation a labor-displacing force? This possibility is both an age-old concern and at the heart of a new theoretical literature considering how labor immiseration may result from a wave of ‘brilliant machines,’ which is in part motivated by declining labor shares in many developed countries.
Automation indeed displaces existing tasks, but then there is another type of technological change enabling the creation of new, more complex versions of existing tasks, in.
This paper uses global census data to examine whether the labor market polarization and labor – displacing automation documented in the advanced countries appears in the developing world. While confirming both effects for the former, it finds little evidence for either in developing countries.
