摘要

工业机器人作为先进制造业的关键技术创新，对推动中国制造业绿色转型升级具有重要作用。本研究利用2011年至2019年中国280个城市的面板数据，考察了工业机器人的采用对城市空气污染的影响。研究结果表明，工业机器人的采用显著减少了城市空气污染，并通过Bartik工具变量和倾向得分匹配验证了稳健性。分析进一步确定了工业机器人减少污染物排放的两个主要途径：节能效应和增强绿色创新。此外，工业机器人的环境效益因城市而异，根据区域位置、城市规模和政府绩效压力存在显著差异。本研究为工业机器人在促进可持续发展中的作用提供了经验证据，为决策者设计有针对性的战略提供了可操作的见解，将工业自动化与环境和经济目标相结合。

The mitigation effect of industrial robots on air pollution

Industrial robots, as a key technological innovation in advanced manufacturing, play a vital role in advancing the green transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. This study examines the impact of industrial robot adoption on urban air pollution using panel data from 280 Chinese cities spanning 2011 to 2019. The findings indicate that the adoption of industrial robots significantly reduces urban air pollution, with robustness validated through Bartik instrumental variables and propensity score matching. The analysis further identifies two primary pathways through which industrial robots reduce pollutant emissions: the energy reduction effect and the enhancement of green innovation. Moreover, the environmental benefits of industrial robots vary across cities, with significant differences observed based on regional location, city size, and government performance pressures. This research provides empirical evidence for the role of industrial robotics in promoting sustainable development, offering actionable insights for policymakers to design targeted strategies that integrate industrial automation with environmental and economic objectives.
