SUMMARY:big data and econometrics seminar - Edwin Fourrier-Nicolaï

DESCRIPTION:This paper empirically examines the effects of investment in ro
 bots and 4IR digital technologies (specifically big data\, Internet of Thin
 gs\, virtual reality\, and cybersecurity) on firm employment using a compre
 hensive and representative firm survey conducted in Italy in 2015 and 2018.
  We investigate whether these effects are heterogeneous across occupational
  groups and contractual arrangements. We develop an empirical strategy that
  allows us to identify the causal effects of the new technologies by combin
 ing the predetermined composition of employment at the firm level with the 
 exogenous technological progress in robotics and 4IR digital technologies o
 ccurring at the global level\, proxied by the technology-related patent sto
 cks at the industry level. This methodology allows us to separately identif
 y the causal effects of robots and of 4IR digital technologies on the overa
 ll growth and on the composition of firms' employment as well as\, on the f
 irms' training and hiring strategies. Our results tell different stories ab
 out the impact of investment in robots and 4IR digital technologies. The im
 pact of robotics investment on firm employment is not statistically signifi
 cant\, but the composition of fixed-term and permanent contracts changes in
  favour of the former. On the other hand\, investment in 4IR digital techno
 logies has a positive effect on firms' employment and their propensity to h
 ire skilled workers in the future. In addition\, investment in 4IR digital 
 technologies positively affects the likelihood that firms invest in trainin
 g (especially IT-related)\, while it leads to fewer layoffs and lower relia
 nce on temporary workers and intermediation agencies. These results show th
 e coexistence of displacement and reinstatement effects at the firm level. 
 The results are robust to the inclusion of different sets of firm-level con
 trols.\\n\\nContact: Michel Lubrano : michel.lubrano[at]univ-amu.frPierre M
