Increases in K_T reduce employment levels in affected firms and industries even when aggregate productivity rises.

Rising technological capital (K_T) — proxied by robot/automation density, software and intangible capital accumulation, AI adoption surveys, and AI-related patenting — leads to a decline in labor’s share of output.
Firm- and industry-level panel regressions linking constructed K_T intensity measures to labor shares, supported by macro growth-accounting decompositions; robustness checks include difference-in-differences and instrumenting adoption with plausibly exogenous shocks (e.g., cross-border technology diffusion, trade shocks); validated with cross-country comparisons and case studies.
