偏向性技術進步、自動化、極化

Abstract

在本論文中，我們提出了一個考慮到自動化和內生技術變革共存的人才-任務分配模型。我們的主要目標是研究增加自動化可及性對定向技術變革的影響，以及其對勞動市場的後果。我們發現，偏向性技術進步取決於最終商品生產中任務替代彈性的值。在臨界值以下，企業的研發決策可能會縮小自動化範圍並減緩極化。另一方面，一旦超過該值，企業的研發決策可能會進一步擴大自動化並加劇極化現象。

In this paper, we present a talent-to-task assignment model that considers the coexistence of automation and endogenous technical changes. Our primary objective is to investigate the repercussions of increased automation accessibility on directed technical change and its consequences on the labor market. We discover that the directed change depends on the value of the elasticity of substitution for the tasks in final goods production. Below the critical value, firms’ research and development (R&D) decisions may contract the range of automation and mitigate polarization. On the other hand, once above that value, firms’ R&D decisions may further expand automation and widen the polarization.
