摘要：
We use inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) difference-in-differences (DID) to identify the causal relation between industrial robot adoption and employment structure in China. We find that robot adoption will significantly encourage firms to hire more highly skilled and highly educated workers, introducing skill-biased development into firms' employment structure.
