About

Tian Gan is a versatile researcher whose work spans labor economics, robotics applications, and international trade, with a particular focus on the transformative role of automation and intelligent technologies in modern economies and healthcare. Gan's most influential contribution, "Do Industrial Robots Affect the Labour Market? Evidence from China" (2023), has garnered 28 citations and offers compelling micro-level evidence that industrial robot adoption actually *increases* firm-level employment by 31.65% — a nuanced finding that challenges prevailing anxieties about automation-driven job displacement. This work has significantly enriched the ongoing global debate on technology and labor. Beyond economics, Gan has demonstrated impressive interdisciplinary reach through research on tele-ultrasound robotics, investigating the diagnostic accuracy of remote robotic systems during the COVID-19 pandemic — a study that attracted 17 citations and highlighted critical innovations in contactless medical care under crisis conditions. Most recently, Gan's examination of industrial robots and export stability, drawing on data from 49 major exporting countries, extends this scholarly lens to international trade dynamics. Collectively, Gan's body of work, totaling over 50 citations, positions them as an emerging voice at the intersection of automation, economic policy, and applied technology.
