Recent research has shown that industrial robots in the US have led to heavy losses in terms of jobs and incomes. In this article, we will explore the impact they have had on the labor market in Germany, where robots are more popular than in the United States and the manufacturing industry's weight on total employment is much greater. …For our analysis, we use the same set of data from the International Federation of Robotics used by Acemoğlu and Restrepo (2016, 2017) and the pioneering study conducted by Graetz and Michaels (2017). This set of data shows the number of robots installed in 25 sectors and 50 countries over the period 1994 to 2014.
