About

Magnus Lodefalk is an economist whose research sits at the cutting edge of labor economics and the economics of technological change, with a particular focus on how artificial intelligence and automation reshape the modern workplace. His work draws on rich individual-level and survey data to illuminate the nuanced ways in which emerging technologies alter the content of work, the structure of skills and tasks, and the well-being of workers. Among his most notable contributions is a detailed investigation into how AI exposure correlates with changes in occupational tasks and individual wages in Germany, offering some of the first worker-level evidence on these dynamics over the past two decades. Complementing this, his research on AI and worker stress reveals a persistent negative relationship between technological adoption and employee well-being, highlighting dimensions of the digital transition that go beyond productivity and pay. Already accumulating citations shortly after publication, Lodefalk's findings have quickly attracted attention from fellow researchers grappling with the societal implications of AI diffusion. His empirical rigor and policy-relevant insights make his work essential reading for students and scholars seeking to understand how the AI revolution is transforming labor markets from the ground up.
