AUTOMAÇÃO E OS SEUS IMPACTOS NA MICROECONOMIA PELO VIÉS DA ANÁLISE ECONÔMICA DO DIREITO

Abstract

According to the Law and Economics, automation alters competitiveness, employment, and production; It reduces operating costs, increases the efficiency and accuracy of production processes, which results in gains in scale and reduction of human errors. On the other hand, workers in sectors more susceptible to automation are directly affected by the problems of technological unemployment and income redistribution that arise as a result of the replacement of labor by machines. Legislation aimed at automation must balance the benefits of technological innovation with the protection of workers' rights from a legal and economic point of view. Tax incentives and public policies that sponsor the requalification and adaptation of the workforce to new technologies can reduce the social risks related to worker fungibility. Based on the deductive method, the scope of this study is to examine the current legislation and its impact on the microeconomy resulting from automation in the work environment, from the perspective of Law and Economics, and it is opportune to dialogue with the analysis of the regulatory impact.
