Dr Nurillaev Karamat Maratovich (Hokkaido University): Robot Adoption and International Trade: Implications for Developing Economies
Industrial robots are typically viewed as technology for labor-scarce advanced economies, and their relevance for developing countries is often questioned. Departing from this perspective, this paper examines the effect of robot adoption on export structure in 33 developing economies across 15 manufacturing sectors between 2005 and 2020. The empirical analysis combines industry-level bilateral trade flows from OECD input-output tables with data on robot adoption from the International Federation of Robotics. To address endogeneity, the study employs PPML estimation with an instrumental variabl...
