Abstract

Abstract This study investigates the long-run relationship between technological change and unemployment, focusing on a gender perspective in developed economies. Considering the obstacles women face in accessing labor markets, this study aims to empirically combine the technological change and unemployment nexus with a gender perspective in 20 OECD economies from 1985 to 2019 by using multifactor productivity (MFP) as a proxy for technological change. The findings from Westerlund Panel Cointegration Test and Pedroni's Panel-Dynamic Ordinary Least-Squares (PDOLS) estimator indicate the presence of a long-run relationship between MFP and unemployment rate with diversified gender effects. Even though MFP affects total and male unemployment significantly and negatively in the long run, there is no significant effect on female unemployment for the whole panel. However, the findings by economies are diversified and they indicate the presence of technological unemployment for women in some economies. Thus, the empirical results clearly show that the long-run relationship between MFP and unemployment is affected by gender differences.

性别视角下的技术变革与失业关系:来自面板协整方法的经验证据

摘要本研究调查了技术变革与失业之间的长期关系，重点关注发达经济体的性别视角。考虑到女性在进入劳动力市场方面面临的障碍，本研究旨在通过使用多因素生产率（MFP）作为技术变革的指标，将1985年至2019年20个经合组织经济体的技术变革和失业关系与性别观点实证结合。Westerlund面板协整检验和Pedroni的面板动态常最小二乘（PDOLS）估计结果表明，最惠国待遇与失业率之间存在具有多样化性别效应的长期关系。尽管从长远来看，最惠国待遇对总失业率和男性失业率产生了显著的负面影响，但对整个小组的女性失业率没有显著影响。然而，各经济体的调查结果是多样化的，它们表明在一些经济体中妇女存在技术失业问题。因此，实证结果清楚地表明，最惠国待遇与失业之间的长期关系受到性别差异的影响。

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.
