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,...
