本文基于2004年至2016年74个经济体的跨国面板数据集的劳动力市场证据，研究了工业机器人采用对包容性增长的影响。研究发现，工业机器人的采用与发达经济体劳动生产率和总就业率的显着提高有关，而这种影响在发展中国家微不足道。机器人采用率的增加与发展中经济体劳动力占GDP的比重显著降低有关，但与发达国家无关。总体而言，在发达经济体和发展中经济体，机器人采用率的增加与收入不平等程度的显著提高有关，尽管没有证据表明存在技术失业。此外，在发达经济体，男性和女性工人的就业与工业机器人的采用呈正相关，尽管女性受益略多。然而，在发展中国家，只有那些具有中等或高等教育水平的人从机器人的传播中受益。
This paper investigates the impact of industrial robot adoption on inclusive growth based on labour market evidence from a cross-country panel dataset of 74 economies between 2004 and 2016. It finds that the adoption of industrial robots is associated with significant gains in labour productivity and total employment in developed economies, while such effects are insignificant in developing countries. Increased robot adoption is related to a significantly lower labour share of GDP in developing economies but not in developed countries. Overall, in both developed and developing economies, increased robot adoption is linked with significantly higher income in-equality, although there is no evidence of technological unemployment. Furthermore, the employment of both male and female workers is positively associated with the adoption of industrial robots in developed economies, although females benefit slightly more. In developing countries, however, only those with middle or advanced levels of education benefit from the diffusion of robots.
