Abstract:
This paper examines the effect of robots on workplace injury benefits paid in South Korea. Using the administrative data on worker's compensation, I found that the increase in robot exposure contributes to the significant decline in the average benefit amount per covered worker, mainly driven by the reduction in the number of claims, rather than the size of claims. The effects are stronger, especially for serious cases such as permanent disability.
