About
Shasha Yu is a rising scholar whose research examines the intersection of labor economics, technological change, and migration dynamics. Her work focuses on how industrial automation reshapes household decision-making and workforce distribution in China. In her most-cited paper, "Industrial robot applications and individual migration decision: evidence from households in China" (2024), Yu investigates how the rapid adoption of industrial robots influences individuals' choices to migrate for work. By analyzing household-level data, she reveals that automation can both displace workers and alter migration patterns, offering critical insights into the social consequences of technological disruption. Though early in her career, with 6 citations to this key study, Yu’s research addresses a pressing global issue: the human cost of industrial transformation. Her work contributes to ongoing debates about labor market polarization and regional inequality, making her a promising voice in development and labor economics. Scholars and students interested in automation’s societal impacts will find her findings both timely and thought-provoking.
