Abstract

Empirical evidence in Dauth et al. (J Eur Econ Assoc, 2021) suggests that industrial robot adoption in Germany has led to a sectoral reallocation of employment from manufacturing to services, leaving total employment unaffected. We rationalize this evidence through the lens of a general equilibrium model with two sectors, matching frictions and endogenous participation. Automation induces firms to create fewer vacancies and job seekers to search less in the automatable sector (manufacturing). The service sector expands due to the sectoral complementarity in the production of the final good and a positive wealth effect for the household. Analysis across steady states shows that the reduction in manufacturing employment can be offset by the increase in service employment. The model can also replicate the magnitude of the decline in the ratio of manufacturing employment to service employment in Germany between 1994 and 2014.

自动化和部门再分配。

Dauth等人的经验证据(J Eur economic association, 2021)表明，德国工业机器人的采用导致了就业从制造业向服务业的部门再分配，使总就业不受影响。我们通过具有两个部门的一般均衡模型(匹配摩擦和内生参与)来合理化这一证据。自动化导致公司减少职位空缺，求职者减少在自动化部门(制造业)的搜索。由于最终产品生产的部门互补性和对家庭的积极财富效应，服务部门扩大了。对稳定状态的分析表明，制造业就业的减少可以被服务业就业的增加所抵消。该模型还可以复制1994年至2014年间德国制造业就业与服务业就业之比下降的幅度。补充资料:在线版本补充资料:10.1007/s13209-021-00240-w。

期刊介绍： SERIEs is a single-blind peer-reviewed open access journal. In the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) the impact factor of the journal in 2020 is 1.088 and, in Scopus, we are in the top quartile according to Scimago Journal Ranking and the CiteScores. SERIEs - Journal of the Spanish Economic Association is the result of a merger between the two most important academic economics journals in Spain: Spanish Economic Review (SER) and Investigaciones Económicas (IE). The new journal publishes scientific articles in all areas of economics. We welcome both theoretical and empirical papers and place great value on applying high quality standards. SERIEs seeks to maintain the reputation gained by its predecessors as the most prominent economics journals in Spain, and to become a major internationally recognized journal. The journal is receptive to high-quality papers on any topic and from any source. At the same time, as official journal of the Spanish Economic Association, SERIEs is very interested in high-quality empirical papers about the Spanish and the European economy. The publication costs are covered by Spanish Economic Association so authors do not need to pay an article-processing charge. The journal operates a single-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. SERIEs encourages authors to share their data where possible. For further details on the data policy for the journal please see the Springer Nature page here: https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/research-data-policy/repositories-general/12327166 Officially cited as: SERIEs-Journal of the Spanish Economic Association
