The vulnerability of European regional labour markets to job automation: the role of agglomeration externalities
利用2018年劳动力调查数据，计算欧洲各地区面临自动化高风险的工作比例，并分析区域脆弱性与专业化、相关（及不相关）多样性、集聚之间的关系。
Automation is expected to have strong implications for labour-saving technologies. We calculate the proportion of jobs at high risk of automation across European regions using data from the 2018 Labour Force Survey (LFS). We examine the relationship between regional vulnerability to job automation, specialization, related (and unrelated) variety and agglomeration. The results indicate that regions at low vulnerability to job automation benefit from unrelated variety and high population density. Regions with higher proportions of clerical support workers, craft and related trade workers, and plant and machine operators and assemblers are likely to face greater disruption.
