The definition and explanation of concepts in science are a vital scientific activity because a scientific field can develop only on the base of new comprehensive concepts and categories of concepts and their applications that enlarge the domain of scientific analyses. The conception technology...

We summarize a framework for the study of the implications of automation and AI on the demand for labor, wages, and employment. Our task-based framework emphasizes the displacement effect that automation creates as machines and AI replace labor in tasks that it used to perform. This displacement...

We show that, in a model without commitment to future policies, geoengineering breakthroughs can have adverse environmental and welfare effects because they change the (equilibrium) carbon taxes. In our model, energy producers emit carbon, which creates a negative environmental externality, and...
