About
Yuqi Wu is an emerging scholar in international trade and labor economics, with a focused interest in the intersection of automation technology and firm-level trade outcomes. Her most-cited work, "Industrial robot application and export product scope: empirical evidence from China" (2023), makes a significant contribution by empirically examining how industrial robot adoption reshapes firms' export strategies. Using comprehensive Chinese enterprise-export product data from 2000–2013 and a rigorous PSM-DID methodology, Wu demonstrates that robot applications lead to a measurable expansion in the variety of products firms export, offering novel insights into how automation influences comparative advantage and product diversification. While her citation count is still growing—reflecting her early-career stage—this paper has already garnered attention for its timely relevance to debates on technology, employment, and trade. Wu’s work is particularly valuable for students and researchers seeking to understand how digital transformation and Industry 4.0 technologies are reshaping global supply chains and export competitiveness, especially in the context of China’s rapid industrial upgrading.
