Industrial robot application and total factor productivity of manufacturing enterprises.

ABSTRACT: In the context of intensifying global competitiveness and rapid technological advancement, industrial robots have emerged as a pivotal component in the integration of digital technology, exerting a vital influence on the transformation and enhancement of the manufacturing industry. The question of whether this transformative shift can significantly enhance total factor productivity (TFP) and accelerate the transformation of the manufacturing industry has attracted substantial academic attention. This study employs micro-panel data drawn from Chinese A-share listed manufacturing enterprises from 2007 to 2022 to examine the implications of industrial robot application on TFP and the underlying mechanisms. The results of our study indicate that industrial robots have a positive influence on T
