Resum

We are in the middle of a digital revolution and the role of the government when dealing with its impact on social fairness should be covered in public economics courses. The topic is also of great interest on the part of the students. This paper proposes four topics for discussion in Public Economics seminars. Each topic addressees, from a different angle, the impact of digitalization and robotization on equity levels: i) Does Internet reduce inequality? ii) How relevant is and what determines digital divide? iii) Does sharing economy alter unfairness level? iv) How do robots affect inequality?
