Abstract

The diffusion of automation technology raises questions about the future of work, leading to calls for regulation. The ongoing discussions center on the decisions of technology adopters. In this paper, I study how supply-side adjustments shape the effects of policy interventions. I focus on the global market of industrial robots, a leading type of automation technology, where a few multinational enterprises (MNEs) dominate sales. To evaluate how these MNEs respond to policy changes, I collect new data on their characteristics and global sales networks. I then develop and estimate a multi-country general equilibrium model featuring oligopolistic multinational robot sellers. Using this model, I find that MNEs’ market entry and pricing responses transmit internationally and amplify the aggregate and distributional effects of policies targeting robots.
