Field notes
The page names Brett Green, Renping Li, and Dimitris Papanikolaou and offers two outbound artifacts: an SSRN paper and slides. Its abstract separates product-demand displacement from the labor-cost savings captured by other AI-exposure indices, then compares firms around four AI releases. It reports that the largest spread followed a January 2026 launch of agents aimed at replacing incumbent SaaS products; the page itself does not show the underlying measure’s construction.
