Abstract

Drawing on the Acemoglu–Restrepo framework, this article investigates the influence of technological innovations on the wage bill of France, Germany, Italy and Spain We show that in these countries: (a) the wage-bill deceleration since the 1990s has mainly been productivity driven; (b) but was also affected by a wage-share compression; (c) contraction of labor-intensive tasks played a relevant role in such compression; (d) this reflected an acceleration of technology-induced labor displacement not sufficiently offset by the reinstatement of new labor-intensive tasks; (e) labor displacement was higher in low-end services. Econometric analysis of displacement confirms the influence of technology.

欧盟主要国家的技术和任务变化

利用Acemoglu-Restrepo框架，本文研究了技术创新对法国、德国、意大利和西班牙工资支出的影响。结果表明，在这些国家中:(a)自20世纪90年代以来，工资支出的减速主要是由生产率驱动的;(b)但也受到工资份额压缩的影响;(c)劳动密集型任务的收缩在这种压缩中发挥了有关的作用;(d)这反映了技术导致的劳动力转移加速，但没有被恢复新的劳动密集型任务充分抵消;(e)低端服务业的劳动力流失较高。对位移的计量分析证实了技术的影响。
