🔵 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 thinking about policies, what should policymakers do? 👉 Consider the responses of 🤖 sellers. The optimal 🤖 tax/subsidy can change when doing so 👉 Be aware of the spillover effects induced by unilateral policy changes (7/8)

I quantify the effects of taxing/subsidizing 🤖 adoption under 2 scenarios: 👉𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸: MNEs 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 change market entry and pricing choices after the policy change 👉𝗡𝗲𝘄: MNEs 𝗰𝗮𝗻 change market entry and pricing choices after the policy change 🆕 (5/8)

🔵 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 do I do and find? 👉Collect new data on MNEs producing 🤖 and their global sales 👉Develop and estimate a multi-country general equilibrium model of 🤖 adoption➕oligopolistic MNEs competing to sell 🤖 👉Simulate currently debated policy counterfactuals (4/8)

🔵 𝗪𝗵𝗼 are these MNEs? 👉 They have HQ mainly in 🇯🇵 and central 🇪🇺, where >50% of new 🤖 are produced every year 👉 They have local branches that sell 🤖 ➕ "integration services" (e.g., customization) to users worldwide 👉 Stable set of MNEs over time (3/8)

This paper: 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙮-𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 responses can change what we know about the effects of these policies‼️ I study the global market of 🤖. Ideal setting: 👉🤖 are a leading type of automation technology 👉𝟭𝟬 multinational enterprises (MNEs) hold 𝟵𝟬% of global sales (2/8)

🔵 𝗪𝗵𝘆 do we care? Automation (e.g., 🤖 and AI) is on the rise 📈 Trade-off: productivity gains vs job displacement ➡️ debate about policy interventions (tax or subsidies) Current debate focuses on adopters, i.e., the 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 of the automation industry (1/8)
