Abstract

In recent years, the USA observed a substantial increase in the adoption of robotic technology. The use of industrial robots in the US economy increased rapidly from about 1 robot per 1,000 workers in 2005 to 1.7 robots per 1,000 workers in 2017, a 70% increase. At the same time, there is a concern that the rapid adoption of robots will transform our society in a way that we have never seen before. In this article, we investigate whether individuals are responding to the increasing use of robots in their locality by altering their schooling decision. The results of the analysis suggest that a 10% increase in robot exposure is associated with an approximately 2.5% rise in college enrolment rate. In the long run, we find evidence that more intense exposure to robots during school ages is associated with an increase in the probability of an individual obtaining a college degree.

当人们知道机器人会抢走他们的工作时，他们会如何回应？

近年来，美国观察到机器人技术的采用大幅增加。美国经济中工业机器人的使用迅速增加，从2005年的每1000名工人约1台机器人增加到2017年的每1000名工人1.7台机器人，增长了70%。与此同时，人们担心机器人的迅速采用将以一种我们从未见过的方式改变我们的社会。在这篇文章中，我们调查了个人是否通过改变他们的上学决定来应对当地越来越多的机器人使用。分析结果表明，机器人接触率每增加10%，大学入学率就会增加约2.5%。从长远来看，我们发现有证据表明，在学龄阶段更多地接触机器人与个人获得大学学位的可能性增加有关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
