About

Angelos Theodorakopoulos is an economist whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of technological change, labor markets, and public finance. His most influential work focuses on understanding how emerging technologies — spanning information and communication technologies, robotics, and innovation-driven productivity growth — reshape employment patterns and economic structures. His systematic literature review on technology and jobs, which has accumulated nearly 140 citations across its iterations, represents one of the most comprehensive syntheses of four decades of empirical evidence on automation and employment. By categorizing five distinct technology types and tracing their labor-displacing versus labor-creating effects, Theodorakopoulos has provided researchers and policymakers with an invaluable analytical framework for navigating a deeply contested debate. Extending this work into fiscal policy, his 2024 study on automation and taxation — already attracting 30 citations — breaks new ground by examining how robot diffusion reshapes tax revenue structures across nineteen EU countries, raising urgent questions about the sustainability of welfare states in an automated economy. Together, his contributions make him a significant voice in informing both academic understanding and policy responses to one of the defining economic challenges of our era.
