About

Mauro Gallegati is a leading economist whose research confronts one of the most urgent questions of our time: the impact of automation and robotization on labor markets. His work provides crucial empirical evidence on how technological change is reshaping employment, income, and regional economic disparities. In his highly cited 2019 study, "Are machines stealing our jobs?" (41 citations), Gallegati employs a data-driven approach to analyze the technological transition across six major OECD countries, offering a nuanced perspective on the future of work. He further explores these dynamics in "Robotization and labour dislocation in the manufacturing sectors of OECD countries" (26 citations), using a panel VAR approach to demonstrate how robots are increasingly replacing human labor in production processes. His most recent work, "Robotization, employment, and income: regional asymmetries and long-run policies in the Euro area" (18 citations), extends this analysis to reveal how the benefits and burdens of automation are unevenly distributed, calling for targeted long-term policies. Gallegati’s research is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the economic and social consequences of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
