Date 2016-05 · publication Wording attested 2017-06. Revision date on the cover of the retrieved PDF; the May 2016 wording was not retrieved. Role Context Register (kind of text) Nonfiction Missing element Assumes that newly created tasks are ones in which labour has a comparative advantage; the passage answers the redundancy concern rather than modelling machines performing new tasks. Tier Tier 1. NBER working paper (core venue). Conditions Model assumption: labour has comparative advantage in new, more complex tasks; employment and labour share stable if new-task creation continues. Scope and limits NBER Working Paper 22252, May 2016, revised June 2017; quoted wording attested from the June 2017 revision, not necessarily the May 2016 original. Published in revised form as AER 2018. The same paper also derives a full-automation case (see the Conclusion passage).
