About
Qihong Zhu is a prominent researcher in urban and labor economics, with a focus on the intersection of automation, migration, and spatial economic dynamics. Their most-cited work, "Spatial dependencies in the relationship between automation and migrant worker employment: Evidence from Chinese cities" (2025), has already garnered 2 citations, signaling growing influence in this emerging field. Zhu’s key contributions lie in unraveling how technological change—particularly automation—shapes labor markets across geographic space, with a special emphasis on migrant workers in Chinese cities. By employing advanced spatial econometric methods, Zhu demonstrates that automation’s effects on employment are not uniform but depend on local economic structures and inter-city linkages. This work challenges simplistic narratives of technology-driven job displacement, offering nuanced policy insights for managing urban labor transitions. Zhu’s research is notable for bridging macro-level technological trends with micro-level worker outcomes, making it essential reading for scholars of economic geography, labor studies, and development. As their citation count grows, Zhu is poised to become a leading voice on how cities can adapt to the dual forces of automation and migration in the 21st century.
