Does Firm-Automation Reduce Offshoring?
Vis sammendrag
In this paper we analyse the effects of automation on offshoring, using detailed matched employer-employee data, containing firm-level register information on both automation and offshoring. Automating the production process may displace certain workers, especially workers conducting tasks overtaken by the automation process. A key question is which workers are potentially displaced when automation occurs. In this paper we look closer at the relationship between domestic workers and workers located abroad. Irrespective of offshore indicator used, the results show a negative effect of automation on offshoring, in the post-period. This result is supportive of a hypothesis that automation substitute workers abroad conducting tasks that are automatable in the domestic production process. We also find that automation reduce domestic employment. The reduction is largest among blue collar workers and low skilled workers. These results combined, suggest that automation reduces employment abroad, but does not spur domestic employment.

Do NDC pensions increase labour supply? Evidence from the Norwegian pension reform.
Vis sammendrag
Over the last decades a number of countries have replacing traditional social insurance schemes with Notional Defined Contribution (NDC) schemes in efforts to improve the economic sustainability of national pension systems. NDC-schemes ensure a direct and highly transparent link between lifetime earnings/contributions and expected old age benefits. This link is in turn assumed to have significant positive effect on labour supply over the entire adult, pre-retirement life course. It allows pension contributions to be viewed as a form of forced savings, and therefore they should not contribute to the tax wedge for individuals who care about their income situation in retirement. In this paper we utilize the variation caused by the Norwegian pension reform of 2011 to look for evidence of labour supply responses to the new closer and more transparent link between earnings and pension-rights. The reformed system operates with a ceiling on the accrual of pension rights at annual earnings equal to NOK 640,000 which corresponds to roughly 1.3 times the average full-time wage. Due to the ceiling, the marginal accrual of pension rights in the new system is abruptly reduced from 18.1 percent to zero at this point on the earnings-schedule. If individuals are forward-looking and have a subjective discount rate equal to the implicit rate of return in the pension system, the ceiling should have an equivalent effect of a hike in the marginal tax-rate of 18.1 percent. We follow the standard approaches from research on the effects of taxation (ETI-approach) and use this non-linearity in the (implicit) tax-schedule to look for traces of behavioural responses to the new system of pension accrual. We apply both standard IV regression techniques as well as a RD-design. The analysis is based on register data covering the entire population of wage earners during the period 2008- 2013 with annual earnings above the average full time wage. Our conclusions are mixed. While we observe that the labour supply of both men and women are sensitive to changes in compound marginal tax rates, we find no bunching around the kink point at the social security ceiling and only weak evidence of reduced earnings growth in the interval just above the ceiling after 2011.
