About

Philippe Askenazy is a leading French economist whose research bridges labor economics, innovation, and public policy, with a particular focus on the interplay between technology and employment. His work critically examines the discourse around artificial intelligence and job displacement, notably in his highly cited paper "IA et emploi : une menace artificielle" (2019, 4 citations), where he argues that fears of mass technological unemployment are often overstated, highlighting both the technological and social constraints of AI adoption. Askenazy’s broader contributions include pioneering analyses of working conditions, productivity, and the impact of labor market reforms, often challenging conventional wisdom with rigorous empirical evidence. His research has shaped policy debates in France and Europe, earning him recognition as a prominent voice in contemporary economic thought. With a career spanning institutions like the Paris School of Economics and the CNRS, Askenazy continues to influence scholars and policymakers alike, offering nuanced perspectives on how economies can adapt to technological change without sacrificing social equity.
