About
Henry Stemmler is a leading scholar at the intersection of labor economics, technological change, and international development. His research fundamentally reshapes our understanding of how global automation—particularly the rapid adoption of industrial robots in wealthy nations—reverberates through emerging economies. Stemmler’s most influential work, "Automated Deindustrialization: How Global Robotization Affects Emerging Economies—Evidence from Brazil" (2023), has already garnered 23 citations, establishing him as a key voice in the debate on technology-driven structural transformation. In this landmark study, he provides compelling causal evidence that robotization in advanced economies can trigger premature deindustrialization in developing countries, challenging the traditional assumption that automation’s effects are confined to the adopting nation. His earlier 2019 paper laid the groundwork for this argument, using Brazilian microdata to trace the negative employment and output spillovers from foreign automation. Stemmler’s contributions are vital for policymakers and researchers grappling with the uneven global impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, offering a nuanced, data-driven framework for understanding how technological progress can exacerbate global inequality.
