| Feb 6, 2020 at 21:38 | comment | added | heh | I agree it's a difficult challenge. But "we have to measure with something" isn't going to fly in most contexts. Luckily, this is an active area of research and I tried to provide the OP with a place to start looking. Hopefully it proves useful. | |
| Feb 6, 2020 at 21:35 | comment | added | Brennan | Im not convinced that this would work as a valid proxy, although, I can’t come up with a better one | |
| Feb 6, 2020 at 21:20 | comment | added | Mike J | True its not clear of the level of detail. However, if there is no data available one need to find some sort of proxy. | |
| Feb 6, 2020 at 20:57 | comment | added | heh | It's not clear what level this work is being performed at (e.g., Masters' thesis or just motivation for a toy model), but in general it would be extremely difficult to argue that labour-augmenting technology improvements are a good instrument for the robot population. | |

| Feb 6, 2020 at 17:58 | comment | added | Mike J | In this case we don't have a measure of robots. So a good proxy would be to use capital but more specifically equipment as robots would most likely fit into this category. Sorry about not being more specific. the more use of equipment instead of human labor (hours) would represent automation. | |
| Feb 6, 2020 at 15:36 | comment | added | Brennan | How would this separate the automation component of capital? As you say this would only “indicate that capital services are increasing relative to labor” and have no bearing on the concentration of automation | |
