31 May 2019: Public lecture on "Globalization, Robotics and the Future of Work"

Richard Baldwin
Graduate Institute in Geneva

Organised by:
Centre for International Trade and Development (CITD), School of International Studies (SIS), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)

Abstract:
While globalization and robotics, “globotics”, will eventually make a better world, it will create explosive social challenges along the way. Digital technology is allowing “white-collar robots” to displace many service-sector workers and professionals while at the same time enabling “telemigration” where talented, low-cost workers sitting abroad displace domestic office workers. If displaced office workers join with already displaced factory workers, the result could be a destabilizing upheaval. To avoid this, Prof. Baldwin asserts that governments must use the tools they have to slow the pace and make the competition from globots seem fairer.

Abstract:
Economic and financial markets appear to be in a permanent state of flux. Billions of agents interact with each other, giving rise to complex dynamics of economic quantities at the micro and macro level. With the availability of huge data sets, researchers can address questions at a much more granular level than was possible earlier. Fundamental questions of aggregation of actions and information, coordination, evolution of economic and financial networks have received significant importance in the current research agenda of the Econophysics literature, Parallely, Sociophysics literature has focused on large-scale social data and their inter-relations. The proposed empirical approach is a leading contender to find patterns in data, which can be very short-lived. In this meeting, we focus on questions and models to analyze such economic and social behavior.
