Imports, technology, and employment: Job creation or creative destruction

Chandan Sharma and Ritesh Kumar Mishra

Managerial and Decision Economics, 2023, vol. 44, issue 1, 152-170

Abstract: This study examines the employment impact of technology by using firm‐level survey data for a large number of developing countries. We not only examine the impact of technology on overall employment but also investigate the effect on different types of employment, such as skilled, unskilled, temporary, and seasonal. Considering asymmetric distribution of employment, we utilize quantile regression for empirical analysis. Our findings unequivocally suggest that technology does not kill jobs. Further, we could not find any skill‐biased impact of technology. Finally, results suggest that technology received through alternative sources works in combination, enhances absorptive capacity and promotes employment.
