Enzo Weber

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This comment discusses the consequences of a potential fourth industrial-digital revolution (“Industry 4.0”) from a labour market perspective. In particular, we look at the development through the lens of a comprehensive macroeconomic modelling approach for Germany. Additionally, the significance for public policies is addressed.
