论文简介
The benefits of new technologies accrue notonly to high-skilled labor but also to owners of capital in the form of higher capital incomes. This increases inequality.To make this argument, we develop a tractable theory that links technology to the distribution of income and wealth-and not just that of wages and use it to study the distributional effects of automation.We isolate a new theoretical mechanism:automation increases inequality by raising returns to wealth.The flipside of such return movements is that automation can lead to stagnant wages and, therefore stagnant incomes at the bottom of the distribution.We use a multiasset model extension to confront differing empirical trends in returns to productive and safe assets and show that the relevant return measures have increased over time.Automationcan account for part of the observed trends in income and wealth inequality.
