We analyze the impact of robot adoption on employment composition using novel micro data on robot use of German manufacturing plants linked with social security records and data on job tasks. Our task-based model predicts more favorable employment effects ...

Using a newly collected dataset at the plant level from 2014 to 2018, we provide the first microscopic portrait of robotization in Germany and study the correlates of robot adoption. Our descriptive analysis uncovers five stylized facts: (1) Robot use is r ...

In this paper, we study how labor shortage contributed to the rise of robots in the early stage of robotization in Japan from 1978 to 1991. Based on the newly digitalized industry-level data on labor shortage, we demonstrate that the shortage of unskilled ...

We provide a complete characterization of optimal extinction in a two-sector model of economic growth through three results, surprising in both their simplicity and intricacy. (i) When the discount factor is below a threshold identified by the well-known δ ...

We show that there exists a continuous function from the unit Lebesgue interval to itself such that for any and any natural number k, any point in its domain has an -neighbourhood which, when feasible, contains k mutually disjoint extremally scrambled sets ...

In this paper, we offer necessary and sufficient conditions for the presence of odd-period cycles and turbulence in a continuous unimodal interval map. The characterizations we present are original both to the economic and the mathematical literature, and ...

This paper investigates the well-known phenomenon of eventual periodicity of Li–Yorke chaos in the context of the two-sector Robinson–Shinkai–Leontief model of economic growth. It locates its (i) presence under specific parameter restrictions that include ...

This paper considers the neglected case of a capital-intensive investment-good sector in the two-sector Robinson-Shinkai-Leontief (RSL) model of discrete-time optimal economic growth. We find the optimal policy to be surprisingly simple and uniform between ...

We develop a model of inter-governmental communication to study the impact of decentralization on economic performance under an authoritarian regime. Decentralization shifts the decision power of policy-making from the central government to the local. The ...

We study the two-sector Robinson-Shinkai-Leontief (RSL) model of optimal economic growth with discounting for the case of capital-intensive consumption goods. We identify explicitly a lower bound for the discount factor above which the optimal growth path ...

Recent work of Gardini et al. (2008), building on earlier work of Mitra (2001) and Mukherji (2005), considers the so-called M-map that generates a dynamical system underlying Matsuyama's (1999) endogenous growth model. We offer proofs of the fact that ther ...
