About

Cevat Giray Aksoy is a leading economist whose research sits at the intersection of labor economics, political economy, and the future of work. He is best known for his pioneering work on the societal impacts of automation, particularly his study "Robots and the Gender Pay Gap in Europe," which has garnered over 20 citations. In this influential paper, Aksoy provides the first large-scale evidence from 20 European countries that industrial robot adoption, while boosting earnings for both men and women, paradoxically widens the gender pay gap. This finding has reshaped policy debates on how technological change can exacerbate existing inequalities. Beyond automation, Aksoy has made significant contributions to understanding the economic consequences of populism and the labor market effects of migration. His work is characterized by rigorous causal methods and a focus on pressing social issues, making him a vital voice for students and researchers seeking to understand how economic forces shape inequality in the 21st century.
