AI is recognized as a primary change agent that influences various aspects of economies the world over, and thus it profoundly changes not only the number of jobs but also their quality.
Stated as a high-level conclusion in the paper's introduction/abstract; based on literature synthesis of studies from 2013-2025 and references to international sources (OECD, ILO, World Bank).

As technological progress devalues labor, the welfare benefits of steering are at first increased but, beyond a critical threshold, decline and optimal policy shifts toward greater redistribution.

Three analytical results characterise non-linear financial fragility, regime-contingent risk premium divergence, and the general equilibrium alignment squeeze.
Stated analytical results in the paper derived from the theoretical model describing three named phenomena (non-linear fragility, regime-contingent divergence, alignment squeeze).
high mixed When Does AI Raise the Equity Risk Premium? Displacement, Pa... financial fragility / risk premium behaviour / alignment-induced output effects
Whether AI is equity-bullish or equity-bearish depends on which channel dominates—a condition that differs sharply between deep financial markets, where the ARP is the dominant driver of elevated risk premia (Regime D), and shallow markets, where participation compression dominates (Regime E).
Model regime analysis in the paper distinguishing Regime D (deep markets, ARP-dominated) and Regime E (shallow markets, participation-compression-dominated) and stating comparative dominance determines net bullish/bearish outcome.

We develop a heterogeneous-agent framework in which AI-driven labour displacement affects the equity risk premium (ERP) through three co-equal channels.
Stated model contribution in the paper: a theoretical heterogeneous-agent framework that posits three channels linking AI-driven labour displacement to the ERP (productivity, participation compression, alignment risk).
