About

Massimiliano Vatiero is a leading scholar at the intersection of law, economics, and institutional analysis, with a particular focus on labor regulation, technological change, and the governance of economic systems. His most-cited work, "Robots and labor regulation: a cross-country/cross-industry analysis" (2022, 14 citations), provides a groundbreaking empirical investigation into how dismissal discipline shapes the adoption of industrial robots across nineteen Western countries. By demonstrating that stricter labor protections can paradoxically accelerate automation, Vatiero challenges conventional wisdom and offers vital insights for policymakers navigating the future of work. His research bridges institutional economics and comparative law, exploring how legal frameworks influence market dynamics and technological diffusion. Vatiero’s contributions extend to the study of power, property rights, and the role of institutions in economic development, making his work essential reading for students and researchers interested in the complex interplay between regulation, innovation, and labor markets.
