Job polarization and structural change (2014, methodology): “The magnitude of the role of between-industry shifts in our analysis is similar to that in Acemoglu and Autor ( 2011 ) and Goos, Manning, and Salomons ( 2014 ) .”
The Risk of Automation for Jobs in OECD Countries: A Comparative Analysis (2016, background): “Similarly, Goos et al. (2014) develop a model of labour demand at the industry level for 16 European countries and find that routine-intensive industries that are at a higher risk of introducing labour-saving technologies gain”
Did Austerity Cause Brexit? (2019, positive): “I show that, consistent with the literature documenting growing polarization in labor markets (Card and DiNardo, 2002; Lemieux, 2006; Goos et al., 2014), in the past 15 years UK labor incomes diverged along the human-capital divide.”
Tasks, Automation, and the Rise in US Wage Inequality (2021, background): “…important to recall that industrial robots are one of several automation technologies adopted in the U.S. economy over the last four decades.5 5Our findings also complement works on job polarization, such as Goos and Manning (2007), Goos, Manning, and Salomons (2014), and Autor and Dorn (2013).”
Innovation, automation, and inequality: Policy challenges in the race against the machine (2020, background): “Goos et al. (2009, 2014) and Autor and Dorn (2013), provide evidence for the phenomenon of wage polarization, i.e., that routine tasks in manufacturing are more and more performed by robots, which drives low-skilled workers out of manufacturing and into the service sector.”
Margins of labor market adjustment to trade (2019, background): “andWestern Europe, in which workers displaced from tradable sectors tend to find reemployment in low-wage service jobs (Goos and Manning, 2007; Autor and Dorn, 2013; Goos et al., 2014).”
When Work Disappears: Manufacturing Decline and the Falling Marriage Market Value of Young Men (2017, background): “First, shocks to manufacturing labor demand, measured at the commuting-zone (CZ) level, 1See also Jahoda et al. (1971), Murray (2012), Bailey and DiPrete (2016), and Greenwood et al. (2017) for alternative treatments.”
Measuring the Occupational Impact of AI: Tasks, Cognitive Abilities and AI Benchmarks (2020, result): “According to some studies, previous waves of technological progress led to a polarisation on the labour market where the automation of middle-skill occupations pushed middle-skill workers to either low- or high-skill occupations (Autor et al., 2003; Goos et al., 2014).”
German Robots - The Impact of Industrial Robots on Workers (2017, background): “Various studies have indeed argued that technological progress has contributed to rising wage inequality and labor market polarization in advanced countries during the past decades (e.g., Autor et al. 2003; Autor and Dorn 2013; Goos et al. 2014), and estimates have been suggested how many occupation”
The Growing Importance of Social Skills in the Labor Market (2017, background): “Autor et al. (2003) show that the U.S. has experienced relative employment declines in routine-intensive occupations since the 1970s, and Goos et al. (2014) document this same pattern over a number of Western European countries.”
