Für die Statistikproduktion ist ein gut funktionierendes, übergreifendes Management von Metadaten von großer Bedeutung, um die notwendigen Geschäftsprozesse qualitativ hochwertig und effizient umzusetzen. Mithilfe einer zentralen Systemkomponente werden dazu verschiedene Teilsysteme in einer...

Background: Integrating Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology into storage areas within the wiring harness manufacturing industry enables real-time component traceability and supports the implementation of fully automated inventory processes. While RFID systems provide continuous data...

Background: This study examines the influence of AI-driven supply chains on the adoption of automation and robotics within Jordanian manufacturing firms, emphasizing the role of supply chain adaptability and agility as mediators and market turbulence as a moderator. Methods: Drawing on dynamic...

This article examines how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) could affect labor markets globally, with particular attention to the uneven distribution of risks and opportunities between advanced and developing economies. Cross-country differences in occupational structure suggest that...

This paper examines how the financialization of advanced capitalist economies in the 1990s relates to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) as the dominant technological framework in the 21st century. Using insights from political economy and Kaleckian theory, it suggests that AI is not a...

The yen depreciation from 2012-2015 reduced robot prices for U.S. firms. Paradoxically, financially constrained firms dramatically increased adoption relative to their unconstrained peers. We rationalize this with a collateral model: robots are pledgeable assets requiring non-pledgeable...

A large literature in economic history uses digitized census data to study individual-level outcomes in history. Although many census records have been digitized manually, the process is extremely labor-intensive, and substantial material remains unprocessed in archives. Recent advances in...

The economic impact of technological change will critically depend on how future workers invest in their human capital. Yet, little is known about how future workers themselves evaluate and choose their educational and occupational paths in light of emerging technologies. This paper examines how...

This study examines how automation, measured by industrial robot adoption and artificial intelligence (AI) exposure, is associated with labor market and production outcomes across Europe. Using a panel dataset covering 32 European countries and 18 industries from 1994 to 2019, we analyze the...

In recent decades, job tasks have changed significantly, driven primarily by technological change, with some tasks being automated and others gaining in importance. This may affect employees in two ways: On the one hand, changing tasks might decrease perceived job quality through, e.g.,...

Der Einsatz von synthetischen Daten wird als Alternative gehandelt, um das Spannungsfeld zwischen Erhalt des Analysepotenzials bei gleichzeitiger Gewährleistung des Schutzes der Daten optimal aufzulösen. Der Beitrag geht dieser Frage nach mit der Verdienststrukturerhebung 2018 als Datenbasis....

Technological innovations like lightweight robots are transforming workplaces, intensifying focus on human-machine task division and work design. Job control is a key task characteristic known to have positive effects on employees, but its specific impact across different facets remains unclear...

Aus dem einleitenden Teil: "Eine sich wandelnde Arbeitswelt ist an sich nichts Neues. Besonders an der aktuellen Situation sind jedoch die hohe Geschwindigkeit der Veränderungen und die gleichzeitige Einwirkung zweier disruptiver Ereignisse, nämlich der Covid-19-Pandemie und der kriegerischen...

Mit der digitalen Transformation kommt es zu einem Schub in der Automatisierung von Arbeit. Die Einführung von Künstlicher Intelligenz führt zur grundlegenden Restrukturierung der Arbeitsinhalte und -prozesse im Büro. Damit gehen nicht nur Risiken von Funktionsverlusten bis hin zum Verlust...

We study how the labor market shocks of automation and immigration interact to shape workers' outcomes. Using matched employer-employee data from Norwegian administrative registers, we combine an immigration shock triggered by the European Union's 2004 enlargement with an automation shock based...

We provide experimental evidence on how employers adjust expectations to automation risk in high-skill, white-collar work. Using a randomized information intervention among tax advisors in Germany, we show that firms systematically underestimate automatability. Information provision raises risk...

Recent technological developments have given rise to debates about automation and the future of work. These debates touch on concerns about the availability, nature, and meaningfulness of jobs in the present and near future. The aim of this article is to show that Hannah Arendt’s phenomenology...

We provide experimental evidence on how employers adjust expectations to automation risk in high-skill, white-collar work. Using a randomized information intervention among tax advisors in Germany, we show that firms systematically underestimate automatability. Information provision raises risk...

This paper investigates how Artificial Intelligence (AI) goes beyond traditional technological roles to drive transformation across industries, organisations, and society. By analysing 2188 academic papers from the arXiv platform (from 2018 until 2025), the study highlights the unexpectedly...

We study how the labor market shocks of automation and immigration interact to shape workers’ outcomes. Using matched employer–employee data from Norwegian administrative registers, we combine an immigration shock triggered by the European Union’s 2004 enlargement with an automation shock...

We provide experimental evidence on how employers adjust expectations to automation risk in high-skill, white-collar work. Using a randomized information intervention among tax advisors in Germany, we show that firms systematically underestimate automatability. Information provision raises risk...

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...
