Economics of Artificial Intelligence: Implications for the Future of Work (2019, background): “A shared concern about robotization arose from job polarization, or the fact that middleskill, middle-income jobs are disappearing to the benefit of job creation both at the high and at the low end of the wage distribution (Autor, 2010; Autor et al., 2003).”
ASSESSING THE JOB POLARIZATION EXPLANATION OF GROWING WAGE INEQUALITY (2013, methodology): “12 See, most recently, Acemoglu and Autor (2012), Figure 5, covering 1990-2007; as well as, Autor, Katz, and Kearney (2008), Figure 11, covering 1990-2000; Autor (2010), Figure 1, covering 1989-1999; and Acemoglu and Autor (2011),Figure 10, covering 1989-1999.”
Labor Force Participation and Monetary Policy in the Wake of the Great Recession (2013, background): “8See Autor (2010), Macunovich (2010), and Moffitt (2012) for analysis and discussion of trends in labor force participation prior to the onset of the Great Recession. subsequent analysis.”
STEM Workers, H-1B Visas, and Productivity in US Cities (2015, unknown): “Polarization, instead, implies higher relative labor demand growth at the high and low ends of the educational spectrum at the expense of intermediate-level jobs (e.g. Autor (2010), Autor et al. (2006)).”
Toward understanding the impact of artificial intelligence on labor (2019, background): “For example, previous studies have empirically observed a “ hollowing ” of the middle-skill jobs described by increasing employment share for low-skill and high-skill occupations at the expense of middle-skill occupations (16, 35) (reproduced in Fig.”
Occupational Tasks and Changes in the Wage Structure (2011, unknown): “2Acemoglu and Autor (2011) develop a formal model to show how this could happen in a model with three skill levels (high, middle, and low). 3Most studies have either used data from the Dictionary of Occupation Titles (DOT) or the more recent Occupational Information Network (O*NET) to get informatio”
Income Inequality and Class Divides in Parental Investments (2018, background): “Employment growth since 1979 has been highest in jobs that require relatively high levels of skill and pay high wages, and in jobs that require relatively low levels of skill and pay low wages, while growth in jobs in the middle of the skill and wage distribution has been negative (Autor 2010).”
