Auf Substack habe ich mich mit dem Thema und Begriff "Überreichtum" auseinandergesetzt. Dabei bespreche ich Erkenntnisse dazu, ob die Politik eher den Reichen oder den Armen folgt. open.substack.com/pub/koenigjo...

German survey data shows no evidence that #AI exposure has harmed workers' #mentalhealth or subjective #wellbeing. However, self-reported use of AI tools in the workplace points to indications of declining life and job satisfaction. O Giuntella, L Stella, J König cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Artificial intelligence may reduce the need for physically demanding tasks, but it could also erode job satisfaction, intensify cognitive load, and amplify anxiety. This column reports research on survey data from Germany, which finds no evidence that AI exposure has harmed workers’ mental health or subjective wellbeing. But looking at self-reported use of AI tools in the workplace, there are indications of declining life and job satisfaction. This suggests the need to expand current debates beyond AI’s impact on employment, productivity and wages: if it transforms work in ways that affect stress, autonomy, purpose, or health, these dimensions must become central to technology policy and labour regulation.

🥳🥳🥳 Truly excited about our paper in Labour Economics. It was great to work with @beckmannshook.bsky.social on this important topic. Message for policy makers: with a small data requirement we can differentiate between severe and moderate shocks, which have very different long-term consequences!
