QUANTIFYING THE EMPLOYMENT EFFECTS OF MICRO-ELECTRONICS

J.D. Whitley and R.A. Wilson

The paper attempts to quantify some of the compensatory effects on employment 
which may offset the direct displacement effects of faster technological change. 
It is argued that technological change will not necessarily increase unemployment 
levels. There are a number of compensating effects which may reduce and even 
outweigh any initial displacement effects. The study uses simulation techniques with 
a detailed model of the UK economy. One conclusion is that, even if the UK does not 
innovate as fast as its major competitors, a more rapid rate of diffusion of new 
technology may result in higher employment than would otherwise be the case.
