About

Dario Guarascio is a leading researcher in labor economics and technological change, with a focus on the complex relationship between automation and work. His work rigorously examines how robotization reshapes labor markets, challenging alarmist narratives with nuanced, evidence-based insights. Guarascio’s major contributions include a landmark study, “Regimes of robotization in Europe” (2023, 19 citations), which identifies distinct patterns of automation adoption across European economies, revealing that its effects on employment are not uniform but depend on institutional and industrial contexts. His meta-analyses, such as “Robots vs. Workers: Evidence From a Meta‐Analysis” (2025, 8 citations), synthesize hundreds of estimates to show that robotization’s impact on employment and wages is far more modest than often claimed. Guarascio also extends this research to occupational safety in “The Impact of Robots on Workplace Injuries and Deaths” (2025, 2 citations), demonstrating that automation can reduce physical harm. His work is vital for policymakers and scholars, offering a balanced, data-driven perspective on the future of work in an era of rapid technological change.
