How local labour market skill relatedness and size moderate the impacts of automation
利用瑞典行政数据，研究发现自动化对非都市区职业的就业和工资增长有负面影响，但技能关联性和劳动力市场规模能缓解这种影响；都市区职业因不可自动化任务比例高而更具韧性。
This paper examines how local labour market skill relatedness and size moderate the impacts of automation on occupations across Swedish local labour markets. Using administrative data and a spatially explicit risk of automation measure that accounts for regional differences in occupational task contents, it finds a negative association between automation and employment growth and wage income growth for non-metropolitan occupations between 2011 and 2021. Skill relatedness and labour market size mitigate these negative relationships. In contrast, no negative associations are found for metropolitan occupations. Due to their higher shares of non-automatable tasks, they are more resilient to adverse automation effects.
