Return of the Solow Paradox? IT, Productivity, and Employment in U.S. Manufacturing
Acemoglu, Daron; Autor, David; Dorn, David; Hanson, … - 2014
An increasingly influential technological-discontinuity paradigm suggests that IT-induced technological changes are rapidly raising productivity while making workers redundant. This paper explores the evidence for this view among the IT-using U.S. manufacturing industries. There is some limited...

Economic Backwardness in Political Perspective
Acemoglu, Daron; Robinson, James A. - 2003
We construct a simple model where political elites may block technological and institutional development, because of a "political replacement effect." Innovations often erode elites' incumbency advantage, increasing the likelihood that they will be replaced. Fearing replacement, political elites...

Mirage on the horizon : geoengineering and carbon taxation without commitment
Acemoglu, Daron; Rafey, Will - 2018
We show that, in a model without commitment to future policies, geoengineering breakthroughs can have adverse environmental and welfare effects because they change the (equilibrium) carbon taxes. In our model, energy producers emit carbon, which creates a negative environmental externality, and...
