Research on the Impact Effect and Transmission Mechanism of Digital Technology on Employment Upgrading
This paper constructs a heterogeneous agent model to analyze the impact of digital technology on employ-ment upgrading,and empirically tests it by using instrumental variable method with provincial panel data from 2011 to 2020.The main research conclusions are as follows:Firstly,the development of digital technology has promoted employment upgrading.The results of robustness testing by using such methods as replacing indicators and changing instrumental variables indicate that this conclusion is robust.Secondly,the impact of digital technology on employ-ment upgrading varies with regions,levels of economic development,and levels of human capital.Specifically,in the eastern region,regions with higher level of economic development and human capital is relatively high,the im-pact of digital technology on employment upgrading is significant.Thirdly,the evidence of spatial spillover effects of digital technology on employment upgrading has been discovered.The development of digital technology has pro-moted local employment upgrading,but it has a restraining effect on the employment upgrading of neighboring re-gions.The research conclusion provides a new perspective for understanding the impact of digital rechnology on China's empolyment upgrading,and offers implications for better formulating positive employment policies.
