About

Vincenzo Spiezia is a leading economist whose research sits at the intersection of technological change, labor markets, and productivity growth. His most influential work, “The contribution of robots to productivity growth in 30 OECD countries over 1975–2019” (52 citations), provides a landmark empirical analysis of how industrial automation has shaped economic output across decades, offering critical insights into the robotization debate. Spiezia is also widely recognized for his comprehensive growth accounting decompositions, notably “Growth Factors in Developed Countries: A 1960–2019 Growth Accounting Decomposition” (20 citations), which traces the long-run drivers of economic growth across 30 advanced economies using a novel database. His work on “Jobs and skills in the digital economy” (17 citations) further explores the evolving skill demands of digital transformation. Beyond these core contributions, Spiezia has been instrumental in developing original datasets that enable rigorous cross-country comparisons, and his research has informed policy discussions at the OECD on the future of work. For students and researchers, his work offers a vital, data-driven lens on how technology, capital, and labor interact to shape long-term economic trajectories.
