Globalization, technological change and skills : evidence from Ethiopia
Haile, Getinet Astatike; Srour, Ilina; Vivarelli, Marco - 2017
There is a dearth of research on the impact of technological change over employment in least developed countries (LDCs) embarking on globalization and consequent international technological transfer. Using a panel of 1,940 Ethiopian firms over the period 1996-2004 and deploying GMMSYS estimates,...

Robots and the origin of their labour-saving impact
Montobbio, Fabio; Staccioli, Jacopo; Virgillito, Maria … - 2020
This paper investigates the presence of explicit labour-saving heuristics within robotic patents. It analyses innovative actors engaged in robotic technology and their economic environment (identity, location, industry), and identifies the technological fields particularly exposed to...

Labour-saving automation and occupational exposure: a text-similarity measure
Montobbio, Fabio; Staccioli, Jacopo; Virgillito, Maria … - 2021
This paper represents one of the first attempts at building a direct measure of occupational exposure to robotic labour-saving technologies. After identifying robotic and LS robotic patents retrieved by Montobbio et al. (2022), the underlying 4-digit CPC definitions are employed in order to...

Globalization and Employment : Imported Skill Biased Technological Change in Developing Countries
Conte, Andrea; Vivarelli, Marco - 2021
This paper discusses the occurrence of Skill-Enhancing Technology Import (SETI), namely the relationship between imports of embodied technology and widening skill-based employment differentials in a sample of low and middle income countries (LMICs). In doing so, this paper provides a direct...
