我们分析了两种自动化技术-工业机器人和计算设备-在1990年至2015年期间对美国当地劳动力市场性别工资差距的影响。我们发现机器人和计算机资本的显著影响：机器人的增加对男性工资的影响大于对女性工资的影响，而计算机的增加对女性工资的影响比对男性工资的影响更大。根据我们的估计，每千名工人中增加一个机器人单位，性别工资差距将缩小0.3个日志点，相比之下，计算机资本每千名工人增加100万美元，性别工资差距将缩小4.1个日志点。
We analyze the effects of two automation technologies, industrial robots and computing equipment, on the gender wage gap in US local labor markets between 1990 and 2015. We find distinct impact of robot and computer capital: an increase in robots decreases male wage more than female wage, whereas an increase in computers reduces female wage more than male wage. According to our estimates, one additional unit of robot per thousand workers reduces gender wage gap by 0.3 log points, and by contrast an increase in computer capital by one million dollars per thousand workers increases gender wage gap by 4.1 log points.
