Automationhasacceleratedinrecentdecades,drivenbyongoingimprovementsincomputingandinformationtechnologiesandassociatedcostreductions.Machinesinawideningrangeofindustriesperformincreasinglycomplextasks,poweredbysophisticated,networkedsoftware.Theaccelerationinautomationanditseconomy-widediffusioninblue-andwhite-collaroccupationsalikeiscreatingnewemploymentcategoriesbutisalsocontributingtowideninginequalityandfuelingdemandforgovernmentpoliciestoreverselong-termincomelossesoflabor.Thislong-standingpromiseandconcernsarevividlyillustratedbythelatestbreakthroughinArtificialIntelligenceinvolvinggenerative,pretrainedtransformers.
Lookingahead,whilethepaceofautomationislikelytocontinue,itseffectsmaybemitigatedbyoffsettingforces.Populationsareagingalmosteverywhere.Intheadvancedeconomies,theworking-agepopulationhasstartedshrinkingforthefirsttimesinceWorldWarII(Spence,2022).Globally,thepopulationofworkingageisexpectedtocontinuetogrowuntilabout2040,buttheratiooftheworkingagepopulationtothetotalisalreadydecliningglobally(Chart).InthecaseofChina,forexample,theworking-agepopulationisexpectedtoshrinkbyafifthoverthenext30years.AsGoodhartandPradhanstress,ourageisoneofdemographicreversalinwhichthe“longglutofinexpensivelaborthathadkeptpricesandwagesdownfordecades,isgivingwaytoaneraofworkershortages,andhencehigherprices”.

Thispaperexaminesthecombinedwelfareeffectsofautomationandlowerlaborsupplyusingneoclassicalgrowthmodelswithandwithoutintergenerationaltransfers.Itbeginsbyreplicatingaversionofthewell-knownresultofKotlikoffandSachs(K&S,2012)thataone-timeimprovementinthetechnicalefficiencyofmachinesendsupimmiseratingallfuturegenerations.Thisstrikingresultreliesontwocrucialassumptions.First,machinesareverygoodsubstitutesforunskilledlaborthroughouttheeconomy,sothatimprovedautomationendsupdisplacingworkersandloweringwagesacrosstheboard.Second,therearenooperativeintergenerationaltransfersofanykind,sothattheownersofcapitalendupconsumingtheentirewindfallfromtheimprovementsinautomationduringtheirlifetime(ageneration,roughlythirtyyears).Thepositiveshocktotheefficiencyofmachinesdoesnotraisesaving,depressesinvestmentinphysicalandhumancapital,andsetsinmotionanever-endingcycleofdecliningwelfare.Governmentpolicyisthereforeneededtospreadthiswindfallmoreequitablyacrossfuturegenerations.K&Sconsiderwealthtaxes,inparticularsocializingaportionoftheeconomy’scapitalstockthatallowsthegovernmenttofinanceasustainableincomestream(universalbasicincome)forallfuturegenerations.Resortingtocompulsionisessentialwhengenerationsareselfish,precludinganysortofvoluntaryintergenerationaltransfers.
Infact,privateintergenerationaltransfersaresubstantial,withabouthalfofallhouseholdsplanningtoleaveestates(LaitnerandJuster,2017).Thefirstobjectiveofthepaperistoreassessthewelfareeffectsofautomationinthepresenceofintergenerationaltransfers,bothbequestsandprivatelyandpubliclyfundedschooling.InaversionoftheK&Smodelwithoperativebequests,wefindthatintergenerationaltransfersarepositiveinequilibriumifthestrengthofaltruismexceedsacertainthreshold,mitigatingthenegativeeffectsofautomation.Butwhileitiscomfortabletoknowthatthegainsfromautomationmaybepassedtofuturegenerationswithouttheneedtonationalizecapital,thismodelofperfectaltruismisalsoextreme:manyfamiliesineachgenerationcannotmakeefficienttransferstotheirchildren.

Contrarytothepessimisticview,theseauthorsfoundthattheincreasinguseofrobotsraisedtheannualgrowthofGDPandlaborproductivityby0.37and0.36percentagepoints,respectively.Authorsconcludethatthoserobotsdidnotsignificantlyreducetotalemployment,althoughtheydidreducelow-skilledworkers’employmentshare.Gaaitzenetal.(2020)studiedtheeffectsofadaptationofindustrialrobotsandoccupationalshiftsbytaskcontentinthethirty-sevencountriesfortheperiodfrom2005to2015.Theauthorsfoundthatincreaseduseofrobotsisassociatedwithpositivechangesintheemploymentshareofnon-routineanalyticjobsandnegativechangesintheshareofroutinemanualjobs.Ofcourse,enhancingpolicyincludingR&Dandtheregulatoryplatformsinbothprivateandpublicsectorstosupportdigitaltechnologiesiskeytoimproveproductivity.Whilethe2020-22pandemichelpedtoacceleratethedigitaltransformation,manysectors–includingthepublicsector–arelagging,andhenceconcernsabouttheeffectsofautomationonemploymentwillpersist(Spence,2022).
