New WP out! We measure the insurance value of the Dutch tax&transfer system for various life events and find that across events and subgroups, the reduction in disposable income is remarkably consistent at around 10%, despite large differences in impacts on labor income.

Proud and happy to see our paper on the impacts of automation on workers in the current issue of REStat! direct.mit.edu/rest/article...

Workers at automating firms (beyond robots!) on avg suffer a 5-yr cumulative wage loss of 9% of a year's earnings, mostly driven by non-employment margin.
