Artificial intelligence, productivity, and the workforce : evidence from corporate executives

Baslandze, Salomé; Edwards, Zachary; Graham, John R.; … - 2026

We use novel data from a survey of nearly 750 corporate executives to study the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on productivity and the workforce. We document substantial heterogeneity in AI adoption across firms, with more than half having already invested, though many smaller firms are...

Brey, Björn; Cefala, Edoardo; García-Peñalosa, Cecilia - 2026

Gender equality and economic growth have historically tended to move together yet identifying causal effects has been difficult. This paper uses data on the support for female suffrage in Switzerland in order to explore the impact of technology adoption on gender norms. We argue that the early...

Job transformation, specialization, and the labor market effects of AI

Freund, Lukas; Mann, Lukas - 2026 - Original version: August 2025, this version: March 2026

A central effect of automation is to transform jobs-shifting their task content. We develop a general-equilibrium model of this process. Occupations bundle tasks; workers possess task-specific skills and sort by comparative advantage. When a task is automated, remaining tasks gain in importance,...

What makes new work different from more work?

Autor, David H.; Chin, Caroline; Salomons, Anna; … - 2026

We study the role of expertise in new work - novel occupational roles that emerge as technological and economic conditions evolve - using newly available 1940 and 1950 Census Complete Count files and confidential American Community Survey data from 2011- 2023. We show that new work is...

A brave new world of hiring : a natural field experiment on how asynchronous interviews and AI assessment reshape recruitment

Avery, Mallory; Ip, Edwin; Leibbrandt, Andreas; Vecci, … - 2026

Recent technological advancements are reshaping pathways to employment by automating the interview process. Asynchronous interviews, in which job applicants submit answers to interview questions via an online platform without interacting with an interviewer, are replacing more traditional...

AI, output and employment

Johnston, Andrew; Makridis, Christos A. - 2026

Does artificial intelligence (AI) increase productivity - and does it displace workers? We examine aggregate effects using administrative data covering essentially all U.S. employers in a difference-in-differences design exploiting occupational AI exposure across industries and states. A one...

Revisiting the occupational impact of AI in the generative era

Casas, Pablo; Fernández-Macías, Enrique; Martínez … - 2026

Generative AI is reshaping what artificial intelligence can do in the workplace, calling into question pre-GenAI assessments of which workers and tasks are most exposed. In this paper we trace the evolution of AI exposure in the European labour market from 2008 to 2024 by linking 352 AI...

The gender gap in digital skills at work

Whelan, Adele; Brosnan, Luke; McGuinness, Séamus - 2026

We analyse the gender gap in digital skills use at work across Europe. We find a substantial gap, with women significantly less likely to perform advanced digital tasks. A raw gender gap of around 16 percentage points is observed, of which only 30 per cent is attributable to observable factors....

The sum of all (workplace) fears : how managers mediate the fear of AI job displacement

Makridis, Christos A. - 2026

AI is transforming work, but workers' responses to these technologies depend not only on exposure to AI, but also on how organizations, especially managers, oversee the transition. Using longitudinal data from the Gallup Workforce Panel from 2023-2026, I examine whether managers and workplace...

Pre-AI sorting, post-AI inequality : generative AI and the gender wage gap

Gardberg, Malin; Heyman, Fredrik; Olsson, Martin; Tåg, … - 2026

We examine how gender-based occupational sorting before the release of ChatGPT relates to predicted exposure to generative AI and its potential implications for the gender wage gap. Using Swedish administrative data, we find that women are overrepresented in occupations predicted to be more...
