It all starts from these 2 graphs:
- Wages strongly differ across regions, mostly btw East and West, but also within West
- those disparities have grown a lot over time
For instance, Munich wages were ~30% above average in the 1980s, but >50% in 2014.
Why is that??? /2

Prominent explanations for this "urban wage premium" include
- compensation for higher local prices
- sorting: more productive workers & firms self-select into cities
- agglomeration economies: cities make workers more productive, e.g. as knowledge is concentrated there

Do robots destroy jobs and cause mass unemployment?
No, they don’t!

It’s been a long journey – starting in Sept. 2017, when we first published this widely read @VOXEU column (the older ones on #Econtwitter might still remember).
And here we are, four years later, with the final version #JEEA: drive.google.com/file/d/1dNv9lb…

The paper received in media attention in >25 countries.
A personal highlight was my double interview @faznet with popstar philosopher Richard David Precht, where I argued that his claim – robots cause mass unemployment – is, well, not true. /3
