Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.

Employee savings in defined contribution plans: Evidence from age‐based policies in employer plans

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Retirement saving is a critical form of self‐insurance at older ages, but ensuring that such savings are adequate remains a challenge in the United States.
