现有的经济模型表明,新技术如何导致相对工资和不平等的巨大变化。但也有一些主要基于口头陈述的说法,认为新技术可能会平均伤害工人,甚至伤害所有工人。这篇论文表明,在合理的假设下,新技术不太可能导致所有工人的工资下降,如果投资品价格相对于消费品价格下降(数据支持的条件),新技术将导致平均工资上升。我们概述了不同假设下结果可能会发生的变化。(JEL D31、G31、J22、J24、J31、O31、O33)
Existing economic models show how new technology can cause large changes in relative wages and inequality. But there are also claims, based largely on verbal expositions, that new technology can harm workers on average or even all workers. This paper shows— under plausible assumptions—that new technology is unlikely to cause wages for all workers to fall and will cause average wages to rise if the prices of investment goods fall relative to consumer goods (a condition supported by the data). We outline how results may change with different assumptions. (JEL D31, G31, J22, J24, J31, O31, O33)
