🚨 New Working Paper Alert @UrasEcon🚨"Firms and Unions": Diving into the intricate interplay between firm growth, wages, and the unstoppable march of technology. Is firm growth always better for wages? Let's find out! 🧵
The plot thickens: We show that its not just about firm growth; it's about how and when firms choose automation over labor, reshaping the workplace and union dynamics.
From the past to the present: Our paper is a bridge, linking historical shifts in union power and workforce dynamics to today's automation-led challenges. 🕰️🔄
What's the big deal about automation and firm size? We draw connections unseen before, setting the stage for a new understanding of labor's place in the tech-driven economy. 🔍🌐
