About
Florent Bordot is a researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of labor economics and technological disruption. His primary research areas focus on the macroeconomic impacts of automation, specifically examining how artificial intelligence and industrial robotics reshape employment landscapes. Bordot’s most influential contribution, his 2022 study “Artificial Intelligence, Robots and Unemployment: Evidence from OECD Countries,” provides compelling empirical evidence on this pressing issue. Analyzing a panel of 33 OECD countries from 2005 to 2017, his research quantifies a significant relationship: a 10% increase in the stock of industrial robots is associated with a 0.42 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. This finding, which has garnered 65 citations, offers a data-driven perspective on the anxieties surrounding technological unemployment. By isolating the distinct effects of AI and robotics, Bordot’s work moves beyond theoretical debate, providing policymakers and economists with concrete metrics to understand the labor market’s vulnerability to automation. His research stands as a vital, empirically grounded contribution to one of the most consequential economic questions of our era.
