About

Nikolai A. Gorodny is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of industrial economics, technological innovation, and manufacturing competitiveness, with a particular focus on Russia's position in the global industrial landscape. His research addresses the transformative forces reshaping modern manufacturing, including Industry 4.0 technologies and advanced automation. Gorodny's most notable contribution, "Global Advanced Manufacturing Markets — A New Opportunity for Russia's Technological Upgrade" (2022, 10 citations), critically examines Russia's modest footprint in world advanced manufacturing markets and explores pathways for the country's technological modernization. This work offers both diagnostic insight and strategic perspective for policymakers and industry stakeholders navigating global competitive pressures. His subsequent study on robotization (2023, 4 citations) demonstrates a rigorous empirical approach, employing panel regression methods across a substantial sample of nearly 82,000 Russian manufacturing enterprises to quantify the productivity effects of industrial robot adoption. Together, these works position Gorodny as a thoughtful analyst of how emerging technologies translate into measurable economic outcomes. For students and researchers interested in industrial transformation, technological catch-up strategies, and the economics of automation in transitional economies, his growing body of work offers valuable and data-driven perspectives.
