About

Christian Ebeke is a prominent macroeconomist whose research centers on labor markets, fiscal policy, and the economic implications of technological change. His work rigorously examines how automation reshapes the relationship between government spending and employment, a contribution that has become increasingly vital in debates over the future of work. In his highly cited 2023 paper, "Automation and the employment elasticity of fiscal policy," Ebeke demonstrates that the effectiveness of fiscal stimulus in creating jobs is significantly diminished in economies with high levels of automation, offering a critical framework for policymakers navigating the Fourth Industrial Revolution. With over 6 citations already, this research has quickly influenced discussions among economists and international institutions. Beyond this flagship work, Ebeke has made substantial contributions to understanding macroeconomic stability in developing economies, often focusing on the role of fiscal rules and public investment. His scholarship is characterized by a blend of rigorous empirical analysis and policy-relevant insights, making him a key voice in contemporary debates on how governments can adapt their fiscal tools to a rapidly automating world.
