Climate change and the decline of labor share

Qiu, Xincheng; Yoshida, Masahiro - 2026

We study the impact of climate change on the labor share. Combining newly constructed US county-industry-level labor shares with climate variables, we find that extreme temperatures reduce the labor share, with stronger effects in industries with higher climate exposure and automation potential....

From shares to machines : how common ownership drives automation

Emmens, Joseph; Hutschenreiter, Dennis; Manfredonia, Stefano - 2026 - This version: June 3, 2026

This paper studies whether common ownership affects the direction of technological change. We develop a task-based model in which commonly owned firms internalize wage externalities from labor market rivals, increasing incentives to automate. We establish causality by exploiting institutional...
