This study examines the transformative impact of new technologies an globalization on firms and workers. Specifically, it seeks to analyze the effects of the ongoing expansion of remote work, advancements in artificial intelligence, and the increasing adoption of industrial robots. These structural shifts are evaluated to understand their implications for labor market dynamics and industry-wide outcomes. Particular emphasis is placed on delineating the spatial boundaries of these markets and investigating how new technologies reshape these boundaries. Furthermore, the study explores how changes in national markets, driven by these technological advancements, translate into international trade dynamics, with a focused analysis of offshoring and its implications on both inter- and intranational outcomes. The analysis anticipates significant yet highly heterogeneous effects on firm productivity, the tightness of local labor markets, and the reallocation of production factors.
