About
Yan Zhoufu is a prominent scholar in labor economics and industrial relations, whose research critically examines the intersection of automation, employment, and collective bargaining. His most-cited work, "Automation and unemployment: Does collective bargaining moderate their association?" (2023, 15 citations), provides a nuanced analysis of how labor market institutions can buffer the disruptive effects of technological change. By investigating the moderating role of collective bargaining, Zhoufu challenges simplistic narratives of automation-induced job loss, offering evidence-based insights for policymakers and unions. His contributions lie in bridging macro-level technological trends with micro-level institutional responses, highlighting the importance of social dialogue in shaping equitable labor market outcomes. With a growing citation record, Zhoufu’s research is increasingly influential in debates on the future of work, particularly in understanding how institutional frameworks can mitigate inequality. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the political economy of automation, labor market regulation, and the evolving role of collective bargaining in the 21st century.
