Automation, Research Technology, and Researchers’ Trajectories: Evidence from Computer Science and Electrical Engineering

We examine how the introduction of a technology that automates research tasks influences the rate and type of researchers’ knowledge production. To do this, we leverage the unanticipated arrival of an automating motion-sensing research technology that occurred as a consequence of the introduction an...
