Claim LD02-HQ-C01 (v1.0)

Exposure, adoption, actual use, task productivity, firm productivity, labour demand, hiring, employment stock and wages are distinct empirical objects; evidence at one stage does not establish the next.

Research opportunities this claim motivates

What this claim leaves open for research. Each is a hypothesis about a gap, not a finding.

Does the young-worker hiring gap hold up with survey-measured AI use instead of exposure?Exposure, adoption and actual use are distinct empirical objects, and evidence at one stage does not establish the next; this opportunity tests one such link directly.
Do French firms that sign AI agreements then hire and train differently?Adoption, use and labour demand are distinct stages; an agreement can act on any of them, so the design measures hiring and training separately from the fact of signing.
