GPTs are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models (2023, background): “More recent studies have distinguished between technology’s task-displacement and task-reinstatement eﬀects (where new technology increases the need for a wider array of labor-intensive tasks) (Acemoglu and Restrepo, 2018, 2019).”
New Frontiers: The Origins and Content of New Work, 1940–2018 (2022, methodology): “Our paper contributes most directly to research assessing the micro- and macroeconomic origins of new work, including Goldin and Katz (1998), Lin (2011), Acemoglu and Restrepo 5 (2018), Acemoglu and Restrepo (2019), Atack et al. (2019), Frey (2019), Atalay et al. (2020), and Deming and Noray (2020).”
Advanced Technologies Adoption and Use by U.S. Firms: Evidence from the Annual Business Survey (2020, unknown): “(2019), Brynjolfsson and Mitchell (2017a), Acemoglu and Restrepo (2019), and Agrawal, Gans, and Goldfarb (2019) all provide excellent reviews of current and future research issues pertaining to the diffusion of various advanced technologies.”
AI and Shared Prosperity (2021, background): “If the automation of human tasks is accompanied by the creation of new tasks for humans, then the adverse effects on labor demand are offset [2].”
Exposure of occupations to technologies of the fourth industrial revolution (2021, background): “Our approach does not aspire to predict the share of automated jobs, but aims to reflect actual technology maturity (diffusion), which is not covered by the aforementioned indicators Arntz et al. (2020). For example, scores by Brynjolfsson & Mitchell (2017) are based on expert assessments of “what c”
Place-Based Policies and Spatial Disparities across European Cities (2020, unknown): “This shift was caused by a mixture of increased globalisation (like the “China shock,” as in Autor, Dorn, and Hanson 2013; Dauth and Südekum 2016) and technological change and increased automation (Acemoglu and Restrepo 2019; Dauth et al. 2019).”
The Labor Market Impacts of Technological Change: From Unbridled Enthusiasm to Qualified Optimism to Vast Uncertainty (2022, methodology): “Employing an indirect measure of task change b ased on changes in labor’s share of income by industry, Acemoglu and Restrepo (2019) conduct a macroeconomic analysis of task displacement and task reinstatement for two long time intervals, 1950 – 1987 and 1987 – 2017.”
