About

Shiyao Fang is an emerging scholar at the intersection of labor economics, social policy, and technological change. Her research investigates how institutional reforms and automation reshape income distribution and labor market outcomes. In her most-cited work, "Social security fee reduction, industrial robots, and labor income share" (2024), Fang provides a rigorous empirical analysis of how reducing social security contributions interacts with the adoption of industrial robots to affect workers' share of national income. This study, already garnering 10 citations shortly after publication, offers critical insights for policymakers navigating the dual pressures of aging populations and rapid automation. Fang’s work stands out for its timely integration of fiscal policy with technological disruption, addressing a pressing question for economies worldwide: can social security reforms mitigate or exacerbate the labor share decline driven by automation? Her findings contribute to ongoing debates in public finance and labor economics, making her a researcher to watch as she continues to explore how institutional design can shape equitable growth in an era of intelligent machines.
