Automation and Job Polarization: On the Decline of Middling Occupations in Europe
利用10个西欧国家数据，研究发现信息技术价格下降导致IT密集型行业中中等工资职业就业份额降低、高工资职业份额上升，且性别和年龄组间存在差异。
Abstract Using data from 10 Western European countries, I provide evidence that the fall in prices of information technologies (IT) is associated with a lower share of employment in middle‐wage occupations and a higher share of employment in high wage occupations in industries which depend more on IT relative to industries which depend less. Similar results hold within gender and age groups, with notable differences in these groups. For instance, the share of employment in high wage occupations among males has increased less than among females with the fall in IT prices.
