Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between automation technology and wages. In the model, producers either choose automation or non-automation technology, whichever is more profitable. Furthermore, when producers introduce automation technology, they must pay fixed costs, which differ between industries. The main results of this paper indicate that the increased productivity of automation technology promotes automation, decreases labor income share, and also decreases wages when the level of automation diffusion is sufficiently high.

自动化技术会提高工资吗?

本文考察了自动化技术与工资之间的关系。在模型中，生产者要么选择自动化技术，要么选择非自动化技术，选择利润更高的技术。此外，当生产商引进自动化技术时，他们必须支付固定成本，这在不同行业是不同的。本文的主要结果表明，当自动化扩散水平足够高时，自动化技术生产率的提高促进了自动化，降低了劳动收入份额，也降低了工资。
