论文摘要
尽管最近有关于机器人采用对就业和工资的影响的论文，但没有证据表明机器人如何影响非货币工作条件。我们探讨了在1995 - 2005年期间，机器人采用对欧洲非货币工作条件的多个领域的影响，结合了世界机器人调查和欧洲工作条件调查的信息。为了应对机器人部署的可能内生性，我们采用工具变量策略，利用行业在其他发达国家的机器人接触作为工具。我们的结果表明，机器人化对工作强度维度的工作质量产生负面影响，并且对物理环境或技能和酌处权的领域没有相关影响。
Whereas there are recent papers on the effect of robot adoption on employment and wages, there is no evidence on how robots affect non-monetary working conditions. We explore the impact of robot adoption on several domains of non-monetary working conditions in Europe over the period 1995-2005 combining information from the World Robotics Survey and the European Working Conditions Survey. In order to deal with the possible endogeneity of robot deployment, we employ an instrumental variables strategy, using the robot exposure by sector in other developed countries as an instrument. Our results indicate that robotization has a negative impact on the quality of work in the dimension of work intensity and no relevant impact on the domains of physical environment or skills and discretion.
