"Robots Reshaping Spatial Dynamics: The Quantitative Effects of Robots on Chinese Firms’ Global Relocation Trends" by Zheang, Chen, Pei Jiansuo and Peng Kaixuan Abstract Enhancing enterprise rootedness and facilitating the orderly domestic transfer of industries are essential for bolstering the resilience and security of supply chains, and for strategically positioning supply chains around the development of new productive forces. We examine the influence of robots on the spatial distribution of enterprises and labor, and constructs a multi-sectoral dynamic quantitative spatial equilibrium model that incorporates robots, elucidating the dynamics of inter-regional transfers of businesses and workforce. The study concludes that robots not only aid in increasing enterprise rootedness and entry rates but also generates a "gradient transfer" characteristic. Following the enhancement of robot procurement incentives in central and western regions, positive steady-state welfare benefits are achieved due to the marginal dynamics of attracting business entries. We also discover that local competition effects and supply chain linkages are the primary factors affecting profits, while the net effect of factor prices is relatively minor. The policy implications suggest that by intensifying the development and utilization of robots in central and western regions and fully leveraging supply chain advantages, these regions can strengthen their capacity to absorb industrial transfers and concurrently enhance enterprise rootedness. |
