About

Suqin Ge is a prominent labor economist whose research explores the intersection of technology, gender, and labor market outcomes. Her work has significantly advanced our understanding of how automation and computerization reshape wage structures and gender inequality. In her highly cited 2020 study, "Robots, computers, and the gender wage gap" (66 citations), Ge investigates how the adoption of industrial robots and computer technologies differentially affects men’s and women’s wages, revealing that automation disproportionately impacts female-dominated occupations while also narrowing the gender wage gap in certain contexts. This research has become foundational for policymakers and scholars examining the gendered effects of technological change. Beyond this, Ge’s broader contributions include analyses of human capital, immigration, and household decision-making, often employing rigorous empirical methods to uncover causal relationships. Her work is widely recognized for its policy relevance and has been cited in major economic journals and media outlets. Ge’s scholarship continues to shape debates on how to design equitable labor market policies in an era of rapid technological transformation.
