SUMMARY:Training in the Age of AI: A Theory of Career Viability
DESCRIPTION:Development Talks Hybrid\n\n\nIn this Academic Research Seminar\, Luis Garicano will present his paper “Training in the Age of AI: A Theory of Career Viability.” \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Luis Garicano\, Professor of Public Policy\, London School of Economics \n\n\n\nAuthors: Luis Garicano & Luis Rayo \n\n\n\nPaper Abstract: Across the economy\, juniors pay for training by doing menial tasks. Al now performs an increasing share of that work\, putting the bargain at risk. We introduce Al into a dynamic career model with an automation threshold and possible complementarity for experts. The expertise leverage ratio\, measuring the output of a fully-trained graduate relative to that of a novice who has just enough knowledge to outperform Al\, governs the overall impact of the technology. Our central result is that careers are guaranteed viable\, in the sense that they are at least as profitable as they were before the arrival of Al\, when this ratio is above a critical threshold\, specifically Euler’s number e; in this case\, training has a fixed duration and the training path is not at risk. Below the threshold\, the senior’s sale-able knowledge shrinks and training compresses; in this case\, advances in Al threaten wholesale career collapse. \n\n\n\nWhether attending in person or virtually\, please register in advance. \n\n\n\nThe Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share

SUMMARY:Growth Versus Development: The Peruvian Example
DESCRIPTION:Development Talks Hybrid\n\n\nDespite significant political volatility and external shocks Peru has been able to maintain remarkable macroeconomic stability. At the same time\, enormous deficiencies remain regarding access to basic services\, inclusion\, and social and political development. What explains the discordance between Peru’s macroeconomic success and the country’s failure in terms of development? What might be an inclusive growth strategy look for Peru? What do we learn about tradeoffs and challenges between growth and development? In this Development Talk\, Roberto Chang\, Professor in the Department of Economics at Rutgers University and Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research\, will discuss his recently published books “Economia Peruana ¿Milagro o Ficción?” and “Los 10 Números Que Todo Peruano Debe Conocer” and explore relevant lessons for Peru and the developing world. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Roberto Chang\, Professor of Economics at Rutgers University\, Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research \n\n\n\nWhether attending in person or virtually\, please register in advance. Room attendance is permitted for the Harvard community. Boxed lunch will be provided at the end of the event. The Zoom session is open to the public. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Roberto Chang is a Professor of Economics at Rutgers University and Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Before joining Rutgers in 2000\, he was a Research Officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. He has also been an Assistant Professor at NYU and a Visiting Professor at Princeton. Chang has published extensively on monetary economics\, exchange rate policy\, and financial crises. He has served in the editorial boards of the Journal of International Economics and the Journal of Development Economics\, and as a member of the Economics Panel of the National Science Foundation. Chang is a native of Peru and holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nThe Growth Lab’s “Development Talks” is a series of conversations with policymakers and academics working on economic growth and development in countries\, regions\, states\, and cities in the US and around the world. The seminar provides a platform for practitioners and researchers to discuss both economic growth and development and analytical work centered on policy. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share
