The effects of ICT on income inequality by thy authors of this paper.

Type of change inequality		Changes in
		Consequences of reducing inequality	Consequences of increasing inequality	Channels that are affected
Information and communications technology	Effects of technology and productivity improvement	(i) Economies of scale (e.g., additive manufacturing)	(i) High-skill biased technological mutation	(i) Demand for factors of production
			(ii) Automation and robotics	(ii) Remuneration of factors of production
			(iii) Artificial intelligence (AI)	(iii) Increase skills and increase technology efficiency
			(iv) Knowledge gap
	Improve working conditions	(i) Reduction of start-up costs	(i) Increased national and international mobility of resources	(i) Wage competition, mediated by the interaction with productivity
		(ii) Ability to work remotely	(ii) Acceleration of technology transfer cycle
		(iii) Highly automated production
	Digital innovation	(i) Low start-up costs of digital innovation	(i) Winner takes all effects	(i) Organization of value generation
		(ii) Ease of entry into platform economy	(ii) Demonetization	(ii) Appropriation of rents by those who control information
			(iii) Discriminating algorithms
			(iv) Costs of goods and services
