We argue that digital production technologies are less generic than current economic policy discussions often suggest. Their usage depends on the characteristics of firms’ products, and their application is currently still confined to specific areas. The empirical analysis uses firm-level data from a sample of more than 2,000 manufacturing firms. The results confirm that the diffusion of robots, enterprise resource planning, additive manufacturing or advanced logistics is still highly specific to the characteristics of the production process. There are significant differences in the use of digital production technologies by firms according to the degree of product complexity, scale and the degree to which the production activities of the firm are customised or made to order. Thus, digital production technologies are still far from being general-purpose technologies.

The impact of new technologies on the labour market and the social economy / Dachs Bernhard (2018)    

Public ISBD Titre : The impact of new technologies on the labour market and the social economy Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Dachs Bernhard Editeur : Scientific Foresight Unit (STOA) Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 59 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ INNOVATION ; MUTATION TECHNOLOGIQUE ; NTI - NOUVELLE TECHNOLOGIE DE L'INFORMATION ; EUROPE ; ECONOMIE NUMERIQUE ; TRAVAIL ; CREATION D'EMPLOI ; COMPETENCE ; CHOMAGE ; SUPPRESSION D'EMPLOI Résumé : This study investigates the relationship between innovation, new technologies, employment and inequality Today, there is an intense discussion on these topics, in particular on the employment effects of new information and communication technologies.Based on the existing literature and experience from previous technological revolutions, the study strikes an optimistic note about the future It argues that innovation is labour-friendly: it destroys, but also creates employment In previous times, the race between job creation through product innovation and job destruction through process innovation has been won by the job-creating effects of innovation As a result, the author does not expect that digitalisation will lead to mass unemployment However, in his view, the costs of digitalisation are unevenly distributed due to the skill-biased nature of technological change Low-skilled workers, who face a higher risk of job displacement, are therefore particularly likely to bear much larger costs than others Another group at risk are those whose occupations involve a high share of routine tasks, which is particularly the case in the service industries The study concludes that the challenge of the future lies in coping with rising inequality as a result of technological change.(source: report) Document Céreq : Non En ligne : http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2018/614539/EPRS_STU(2018)6145 [...] Permalink : https://pmb.cereq.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=62063 The impact of new technologies on the labour market and the social economy [document électronique] / Dachs Bernhard . - [S.l.] : Scientific Foresight Unit (STOA), 2018 . - 59 p.
