The Economy of Francesco
This volume proposes a revisit of some key words of economic discourse, through the ethical perspective developed in the context of Francis' Economy. The reflections of young researchers, participating in the international movement of the EoF, invites readers to confront the conceptual instruments that are at the basis of a dominant economic thought, rethinking them ethically, in an inclusive and pluralistic way, inspired by the mystical exhortation received by Francis of Assisi: "Go, repair my house".
Automation and Labor Markets in Developing Countries
In these essays, I analyze the implications of automation for labor markets in developing countries. The first two chapters aim to understand the dynamic consequences for firms and workers of adopting a new technology, focusing on Brazil. In Chapter 1, I find that productivity increases with a five-year lag after the adoption of industrial robots. This adjustment period to technology adoption is known as the productivity paradox. Combining employer-employee matched data with a novel measure of robot adoption, I provide evidence of establishment-level labor reorganization and organizational capital depreciation induced by the automation process during the first five years after the adoption. ...
U.S. Robots and Their Impacts in the Tropics
Previous studies for developed countries show negative short-run impacts of automation on employment and earnings. In this paper, we instead examine whether automation by a key trading partner can hurt workers in a developing country. We specifically focus in Colombia's labor market, and how the automation in the U.S. impacts Colombian workers by replacing exports from Colombia for cheaper robot-made U.S. products. We use employer-employee matched data from the Colombian social security records combined with data on U.S. exposure to robots in different sectors from 2011 to 2016 to examine if robots in the U.S. are displacing workers in Colombia. We find that U.S. robots decrease employment a...
Robots and AI
Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) are powerful forces that will likely have large impacts on the size, direction, and composition of international trade flows. This book discusses how industrial robots, automation, and AI affect international growth, trade, productivity, employment, wages, and welfare. The book explains new approaches on how robots and artificial intelligence affect the world economy by presenting detailed theoretical framework and country-specific as well as firm-product level-specific exercises. This book will be a useful reference for those researching on robots, automation, AI and their economic impacts on trade, industry, and employment.

The Human Network
It's not what you know, it's who you know. Or so the adage goes. Professor Matthew Jackson, world-leading researcher into social and economic networks, shows us why this is far truer than we'd like to believe. Based on his ground-breaking research, The Human Network reveals how our relationships in school, university, work and society have extraordinary implications throughout our lives and demonstrates that by understanding and taking advantage of these networks, we can boost our happiness, success and influence. But there are also wider lessons to be learnt. Drawing on concepts from economics, mathematics, sociology, and anthropology, Jackson reveals how the science of networks gives us a bold new framework to understand human interaction writ large - from banking crashes and viral marketing to racism and the spread of disease. Filled with counter-intuitive ideas that will enliven any dinner party - e.g. how can our popularity in school affect us for the rest of our lives? - The Human Network is a "big ideas" book that no one can afford to miss.
휴먼 네트워크
우리는 점점 더 연결되고 있지만 동시에 점점 더 분열하고 있다 분열의 시대다. 정치적 시위는 물론, 적은 수의 사람이 모인 학급에서도, 많은 사람이 모인 SNS에서도, 사회 계층에서도 우리는 극명한 분열을 목도하고 있다. 기술의 발전으로 우리는 점점 더 연결되고 있지만, 어째서 그와 동시에 역설적으로 점점 더 분열하고 있는 것일까? 스탠퍼드 대학의 경제학 교수이자 세계적인 네트워크 연구자인 매슈 잭슨이 끼리끼리 무리 짓고 분열하는 인간 네트워크를 날카롭게 해부한다. 그는 25년간 연구한 자신의 연구에 기반해 인간 네트워크의 고유한 특징들이 어떻게 사소한 일상의 생각과 결정에서부터 거대한 사회 불평등의 문제에까지 영향을 미치는지 추적한다. 저자는 네트워크를 이해해야 당신의 삶과 사회를 변화시킬 수 있다고 말하며 능력주의의 문제, 사회적 비유동성, 정치적 양극화과 같은 복잡한 사회 문제들을 바라보는 새로운 시각을 제공한다.

A ECONOMIA DE FRANCISCO
Este volume propõe uma revisitação de algumas palavras-chave do discurso económico, através da perspetiva ética desenvolvida no contexto da Economia de Francisco. As reflexões de jovens investigadores que participam no movimento internacional da EdF convidam os leitores a confrontarem-se com os instrumentos conceptuais que estão na base do pensamento económico dominante, repensando-os eticamente, de forma inclusiva e pluralista, inspirada na exortação mística recebida por Francisco de Assis: «Vai e repara a Minha casa».
