So far, emerging firm-level evidence is focused on robotics and the manufacturing sector. In this paper, we document that the adoption of automation technologies extends beyond manufacturing firms. We identify firm-level automation events and show that automating firms experience faster employment and revenue growth than do non-automating firms. However, around automation events themselves, employment growth slows markedly. Notably, we find that these effects are similar for manufacturing and non-manufacturing firms, suggesting that an increasing diffusion of automation technology has important consequences for firms and their workers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/articles?id=10.1257\/pandp.20201004\">AEA Papers and Proceedings, 110: 389-93<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Bessen, Maarten Goos, Anna Salomons, and\u00a0Wiljan van den Berge<\/p>\n<p> New research on evidence of effects of automation on firms and workers in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11401,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16,20],"tags":[43,4,22,8,44,30,48],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11401"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1776"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1779,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776\/revisions\/1779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/tpri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
