Effects of a capital-use tax and automation subsidy in a model of innovation and automation
To examine the effects of a capital-use tax and automation subsidy on the proportion of automated industries and the inequality between workers and capitalists, we formulate a Schumpeterian growth model with automation, innovation, and human capital accumulation. We analytically show that a higher capital-use tax drives down the wage rate and stimulates automation on the balanced growth path, whereas a reduction in automation subsidies lowers the wage rate but inhibits automation. Moreover, we conduct a quantitative analysis demonstrating that policies that inhibit automation do indeed reduce wages; nevertheless, however, they can address the disparity between workers and capitalists.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
