论文摘要
我们认为，最近收入不平等的增长是由投资收入不同的增长而不是工资增长而驱动的。具体来说，我们提供的证据表明，在各种专业，医生，软件工程师，汽车机械师和收银员的职业中，实际工资是平坦的，而股票所有权则有利于高等教育和收入水平。人工智能和自动化将工作任务的份额分配给资本和远离劳动力。自动化的回报带给了资本，并且反映在股票市场的增长中，现在有几家公司的价值。我们提出了一项延期投资薪资计划，以使所有工人能够参与自动化的回报并分析此类计划的绩效。 JEL分类：J31，J33，O33
We argue that the recent growth in income inequality is driven by disparate growth in investment income rather than by disparate growth in wages. Specifically, we present evidence that real wages are flat across a range of professions, doctors, software engineers, auto mechanics and cashiers, while stock ownership favors higher education and income levels. Artificial Intelligence and automation allocate an increased share of job tasks towards capital and away from labor. The rewards of automation accrue to capital, and are reflected in the growth of the stock market with several companies now valued in the trillions. We propose a Deferred Investment Payroll plan to enable all workers to participate in the rewards of automation and analyze the performance of such a plan. JEL Classification: J31, J33, O33
