Automation and rent dissipation : implications for wages, inequality, and productivity

Acemoglu, Daron; Restrepo, Pascal - 2025

Daron Acemoglu and Pascal Restrepo uncover how automation disproportionately targets tasks that pay workers above-market wages, eroding those rents and amplifying wage losses for affected workers. Using U.S. data from 1980 to 2016, they show that this “rent dissipation” not only reduces wage...
