The paper makes testable empirical predictions: sectors with exponential returns to skill/AI should exhibit larger increases in inequality and private investment intensity, and firm-level investments should cluster at borrowing limits.
Derived empirical implications from the theoretical model; the paper suggests strategies for empirical testing (fit wage distributions, measure tail returns, use firm-level credit/investment data, exploit technology shocks) but reports no empirical tests.
Borrowing constraints matter: they can be the binding limit on investment when private incentives push to extreme (corner) investment levels.
Model includes borrowing constraints; equilibrium characterization demonstrates cases where the borrowing constraint binds and determines the chosen investment level (credit-limited corner solutions).
In the firm interpretation, firms race to deploy more capable AI/chatbots and frequently choose corner investment solutions constrained only by borrowing limits.
Model variant mapping individual skill investment to firm R&D/AI-capital choice; equilibrium solutions computed in the model show optimal firm investment often hits upper bounds set by borrowing constraints.
