摘要：We develop a growth model that endogenizes the occupational choice of workers with different ability levels to study how
digitalization affects labor income inequality. The framework incorporates digitalization’s multifaceted effects on the economy: (i)
it influences economic growth through automation, and (ii) it affects labor income inequality through labor productivity (demand
side) and labor time modulation (supply side). We examine how these channels influence wage inequality between skilled and
unskilled workers, within each skill group, and economy-wide. The analysis reveals that digitalization’s impact on labor income
inequality—whether exacerbating or mitigating disparities—depends on the inequality metric employed.
