About

Maria Jepsen is a prominent researcher whose work sits at the intersection of labor economics, digital transformation, and employment policy. Her scholarship has made meaningful contributions to our understanding of how technological change reshapes labor markets and working conditions in contemporary economies. Among her most recognized contributions is her 2017 paper, "The Digital Economy and Its Implications for Labour: The Platform Economy," which has garnered 49 citations and stands as an influential examination of how ICT-driven digitalization is fundamentally restructuring the production and exchange of goods, services, and labor. This work critically interrogates emerging phenomena such as platform-based labor markets and the blurring boundary between consumers and producers — the so-called "prosumer" dynamic — offering researchers and policymakers a rigorous framework for understanding these shifts. Jepsen's research is particularly valuable for scholars grappling with the policy implications of gig work, algorithmic management, and digital labor platforms. Her ability to connect macro-level economic transformation with concrete labor market outcomes has established her as a thoughtful and widely referenced voice in European labor studies and employment research.
