TECHNO: How Technological Change Reshapes Politics: Technology, Elections, and Policies

技术变革和自动化正在扰乱发达民主国家的劳动力市场，重新引发人们对技术失业和未来工作前景的担忧。尽管毫无疑问，快速的技术进步具有深远的经济影响，但其政治影响在很大程度上仍未得到探索。这个项目的目标是研究工作场所的技术变革如何促成正在进行的深刻的政治变革(包括民粹主义运动的激增)、采取应对变革的政策以及这些政策的政治后果。该项目分为四个补充工作包(WP)。WP1调查了当他们的行业数字化时，工人个人的经济轨迹和政治行为是如何改变的。WP使用丰富的行政数据研究技术的引入如何影响地方一级的政治和选举结果。WP3评估了技术脆弱性如何影响公民对应对技术变化的广泛政策的偏好。WP4分析了现有社会政策的成功、失败和政治后果，以缩小由于技术变革而导致的个人和地区差距。该项目将有助于理解深刻的技术变革所产生的不满如何在政治上表现出来。它将产生政治上可行和有效的政策建议，以帮助工人和社区适应快速变化的经济格局，并增加对就业未来的不安全感，这确保了极大的影响潜力。项目帮助人员了解“不断演变的威胁政治”(呼吁的主题2)和“身份和代表性改变”的根本原因(主题4)。

Technological change and automation are disrupting labor markets in advanced democracies andrekindling fears about technological unemployment and how the future of work will be. While there islittle doubt that rapid technological progress has far-reaching economic effects, its political consequencesremain largely unexplored. The goal of this project is to study how technological change in the workplacecontributes to ongoing deep political transformations (including the surge of populist movements), theadoption of policies to address change, and the political consequences of such policies.The project is organized in four complementary work packages (WP). WP1 examines how workers’individual economic trajectories and political behavior change when their industries digitalize. WP2studies how the introduction of technology affects local-level political and electoral outcomes using richadministrative data. WP3 assesses how technological vulnerability affects citizen preferences for a widerange of policies to respond to technological change. WP4 analyses the successes, failures, and politicalconsequences of existing social policies to reduce individual and regional disparities due to technologicalchange.The project will contribute to understanding how the grievances generated by profound technologicalchange manifest themselves politically. It will result in recommendations of politically viable and effectivepolicies to help workers and communities adapt to a fast-changing economic landscape and increasedinsecurity about what the future of jobs will be, which ensures a high potential for impact. The projecthelps understand “The evolving politics of threat” (theme 2 of the call) and the underlying causes of“Shifting identities and representation” (theme 4).
