About

Davide Dottori is an economist whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of labor economics, technological change, and automation. His most prominent contribution centers on the relationship between robotization and employment outcomes in Italy, a topic of growing urgency as advanced economies grapple with the transformative effects of industrial automation. His flagship study, "Robots and Employment: Evidence from Italy," has garnered significant scholarly attention, accumulating 68 citations since its 2021 publication, establishing it as a meaningful reference point in the empirical literature on technology-driven labor market disruption. By leveraging Italian data, Dottori provides country-specific evidence that enriches a field often dominated by US- and Germany-focused research, offering policymakers and academics a clearer picture of how automation reshapes workforce dynamics in a Southern European context. His earlier working paper version of the same research, published in 2020, further demonstrates his commitment to rigorous, iterative scholarship. For students and researchers exploring the future of work, automation's distributional consequences, and industrial policy, Dottori's empirical contributions represent an essential and accessible entry point into these critical debates.
