Empirical evaluation is needed on how AI-induced productivity gains translate into aggregate demand and labor absorption.
Identified research priority in the paper, based on theoretical uncertainty about demand-side labor absorption and lack of conclusive empirical evidence.

AI will not mechanically cause permanent mass unemployment at the aggregate level.
Theoretical framing and synthesis of existing empirical findings across task-based and macro studies; no single new dataset provided (paper draws on literature and conceptual models).
medium null result Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and Employment Dynamics... aggregate employment / unemployment (long-run)
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.
medium null result When AI Levels the Playing Field: Skill Homogenization, Asse... accuracy of occupation-level analyses in capturing task-level mechanism (qualita...
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.
Author statement about data requirements and current data limitations; empirical illustration and discussion note absence of large-scale linked microdata meeting these criteria.
medium null result When AI Levels the Playing Field: Skill Homogenization, Asse... availability of suitable microdata for empirical testing (data coverage / 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.
Local identification / sensitivity decomposition performed on the calibrated model; decomposition results reported in the paper attribute mechanism-rate identification to five moments and show they leave the sign of ΔGini indeterminate.
