Outsourcing, Automation, and Econometrics
It is important to look beyond statistics to understand how and when jobs are displaced by technology, business process innovation, or outsourcing to low cost countries.
Advanced Modeling and Simulation: Transforming the Ways We Understand How the World Works
Advanced modeling and simulation, enabled by high performance computing, is revealing previously unknowable physical behaviors and is changing the ways we think about the cars, airplanes, pharmaceuticals, energy and other things that are part of our everyday life.
Universal Basic Prosperity
Technology and automation will change the types of jobs that are available, but workers will continue to be needed to support economic progress and prosperity.
National Labs and the Engine of American Innovation
National Laboratories are little-known jewels that have powered American innovation since the early 20th century, providing lessons and best practices in research and technology investment that are applicable to both the public and private sector.
The Great Divide: Meeting the Challenges of Our Future Workforce
The United States is in the midst of a generation-long structural shift in labor, productivity, jobs, and pay, which is set to accelerate with the increasing adoption of advanced robotics and machine learning technologies. Proactive solutions are needed at the business, community, state, and national level to ensure we have the tools needed to remain competitive.
Quantum Mechanics and the Next Revolution in Computing
With quantum computing, we are entering a new era of how we think about computing. This is similar to the early days of classic computing, where technology enabled entirely new types of problem-solving.
Robotics and Labor Scarcity
Robotics and automation are becoming increasingly important solutions for labor shortage issues in countries with aging populations.
Technology and Continuous Reinvention
Computing, biotech, and other developments have the potential to drive dramatic step-function change to underlying economic and political systems.
