Occupation-level analyses (e.g., BLS OEWS cross-occupation wage regressions) risk misleading conclusions about AI’s distributional effects because they aggregate over the task- and firm-level heterogeneity that drives the mechanism.
Theoretical argument and empirical illustration in the paper showing how aggregation masks within-task compression and firm-level rent capture; example regressions on OEWS used to demonstrate the limitation.

Testing the model requires within-occupation, within-task panel data on task-level performance and wages linked to firm-level AI adoption, ownership of complementary assets, and measures of rent-sharing; such data are not available at scale.

Occupation-level regressions using BLS OEWS (2019–2023) are insufficient for testing the model’s task-level predictions because aggregation across tasks and firms hides the mechanism.
Empirical illustration in the paper using occupation-level regressions on BLS OEWS 2019–2023 showing that such aggregates do not reveal within-occupation, within-task dispersion or firm-level rent concentration effects; paper argues this is a data-adequacy limitation.

A sensitivity decomposition shows five of the moments (the non‑ΔGini moments) identify internal mechanism rates (how AI changes task production, education responses, screening intensity) but do not determine the aggregate sign of inequality change.
