Abstract :
In the project reported here, our colleagues and we undertook a cross-national, cross-technology study of the distributional effects of emerging technologies. Our central research question was how policy interventions affect distributional outcomes for the same technology under different national conditions. Our goal was to identify options for policymakers to spread the benefits of emerging technologies broadly.
