Dear Sir or Madam,
WIFO cordially invites you to the next WIFO Research Seminar:
Karim Bekthiar (Institut für Höhtere Studien, IHS)
"Robots at Work? Pitfalls of Industry Level Data"
Tuesday, 19 October 2021, 1:30 p.m.
online-seminar via Microsoft-Teams: Participation Link_WIFO Research Seminar
Discussant: Werner Hölzl (WIFO)
Research question: Does the inclusion of non-robotizing sectors lead to a bias in the estimation of robotization effects on productivity, prices and labor market outcomes when analyzing industry level data?
Approach: Empirical estimation using OLS, Panel-Data-, and Instrumental Variable Regression.
Data: Country-industry level data on robot adoption from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) merged with EU-Klems-data on productivity, prices and labor market outcomes.
Main result(s): Restricting the estimation sample to sectors which actually experience relevant changes in robotization (i.e. removing non-robotizing sectors) leads to (i) a reduction in the size of the estimated productivity effects, (ii) no significant effect on prices, and (iii) drastically changes the estimated employment and wage effects.
