Skill-biased technological change in the age of AI: a theoretical analysis of automation and inequality

This paper develops a general equilibrium model to analyze how artificial intelligence (AI)–driven automation reshapes productivity, labor markets, and income distribution. The model features heterogeneous workers, endogenous automation decisions, and irreversible skill investment choices, allowing a unified examination of displacement, complementarity, and skill-supply responses. Automation substitutes for labor in routine tasks, reducing demand and wages for low-skilled workers, while simultaneously enhancing…

Current reading — problem

AI-driven automation that substitutes for routine tasks reduces demand and wages for low-skilled workers, causing absolute welfare losses for workers below a critical ability threshold and widening income inequality.

What this doesn’t fix

Findings derive from a theoretical general equilibrium model rather than observed empirical outcomes.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0195 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
