Research agenda: causal studies (panel data, quasi-experiments) are needed to estimate effects of AI exposure on employment outcomes and to evaluate retraining/income-support interventions for pre-retirement populations.
Authors’ stated recommendation based on limits of cross-sectional regression results from the n=889 survey and the identified need to move from association to causation.
