Automation and Income Inequality: Macroeconomic Policy Implications

向更广泛使用机器人和人工智能的过渡可能最终会让我们的公民过得更好，但对国内收入和财富不平等的影响仍不确定，这在很大程度上取决于总体治理和宏观经济政策制度。该项目将通过以下方式帮助澄清国外和澳大利亚的收入不平等影响：(1)来自全球和国家一级校准的经济模型的新的数值理论；(2)对全球和国家数据的结果进行计量检验；(3)使用新的见解来分析经济政策反应及其全球互动以及对澳大利亚经济政策的影响。

The transition to wider use of robotics and artificial intelligence may eventually make our citizens better off, yet effects on domestic income and wealth inequality remain uncertain, depending strongly on general governance and macroeconomic policy regimes. This project would help clarify income inequality effects, both abroad and in Australia, through (i) new numerical theory from calibrated economic models at the global and national levels; (ii) econometric testing of results from global and national data; (iii) the use of emerging insights to analyse economic policy responses and their global interaction as well as the implications for Australian economic policy
