Book excerpt: This dissertation contains three essays concerning the economics of information technology, human capital, and the future of work. In the first essay, 'Occupational Change: Automation and Reskilling Risks', I develop a methodology to study occupational skill demands and estimate the returns to skills, by leveraging novel data from over 200 million online job postings from 2010 until 2020. I find large heterogeneity in skill returns across industries and identify potential (re)skill investment opportunities for workers.

Download or read book The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Klaus Schwab and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.

Download or read book Essays on the Influence of Human Capital in the Adoption of Information Technologies by Households and Its Effects on Teenagers written by Luis Felipe Hernández Cordero and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the influence of human capital in the, households' diffusion of Information Technologies (IT), in particular, computers and the Internet; and their potential benefits and costs among teenagers. The first part develops a theoretical model to understand the importance of human capital for the households' computer and Internet adoption. Urban and rural households select the technology choice that maximizes their utility, given their education, the basic skills needed to use a computer and the market prices. Firms compete as in a standard Cournot fashion. As an illustration of the model, data from Guatemalan households is analysed. The second part analyses the importance of education, among other factors, in the diffusion process of computers and Internet among British households using a multivariate dynamic random effects pro bit model that distinguishes households that are at risk from adopting IT technologies, from those at risk of staying as users. This part includes counterfactual simulations to highlight the importance of human capital in the IT diffusion among households. The third part studies the potential effects of computer access on English teenagers. Firstly, it is analysed if IT access at home and at school are beneficial for the academic outcomes of students, as most children tend to believe, and also if these technologies motivate them to study beyond compulsory education. Secondly, this chapter explores if IT technologies are affecting their plans, risk behaviour, and socialization. The main findings suggest that human capital has played an important role in the computer and Internet diffusion among households. Regarding the academic outcomes, small academic benefits are found from computer home access, but no effects are found from computer use at school. No evidence is found that suggests computer access motivates students to study beyond compulsory education. Finally, computers appear to have negative effects on teens' risk behaviour.

Download or read book Information Technology and the U S Workforce written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have yielded significant advances in computing and communication technologies, with profound impacts on society. Technology is transforming the way we work, play, and interact with others. From these technological capabilities, new industries, organizational forms, and business models are emerging. Technological advances can create enormous economic and other benefits, but can also lead to significant changes for workers. IT and automation can change the way work is conducted, by augmenting or replacing workers in specific tasks. This can shift the demand for some types of human labor, eliminating some jobs and creating new ones. Information Technology and the U.S. Workforce explores the interactions between technological, economic, and societal trends and identifies possible near-term developments for work. This report emphasizes the need to understand and track these trends and develop strategies to inform, prepare for, and respond to changes in the labor market. It offers evaluations of what is known, notes open questions to be addressed, and identifies promising research pathways moving forward.

Download or read book What the Digital Future Holds written by MIT Sloan Management Review and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between management and digital technology: experts present a new agenda for the practice of management. Digital technology has profoundly affected the ways that businesses design and produce goods, manage internal communication, and connect with customers. But the next phase of the digital revolution raises a new set of questions about the relationship between technology and the practice of management. Managers in the digital era must consider how big data can inform hiring decisions, whether new communication technologies are empowering workers or unleashing organizational chaos, what role algorithms will play in corporate strategy, and even how to give performance feedback to a robot. This collection of short, pithy essays from MIT Sloan Management Review, written by both practitioners and academic experts, explores technology's foundational impact on management. Much of the conversation around these topics centers on the evolving relationship between humans and cognitive technologies, and the essays reflect this—considering, for example, not only how to manage a bot but how cognitive systems will enhance business decision making, how AI delivers value, and the ethics of algorithms.
