About

Enzo Weber is a leading researcher in labor economics and the future of work, with a particular focus on the intersection of automation, employment, and international trade. His most-cited work, "Robots worldwide: The impact of automation on employment and trade" (2018, 73 citations), makes a pivotal contribution by shifting the global debate from a narrow focus on developed economies to the worldwide implications of automation. Weber provides critical evidence that robots threaten jobs not only in industrialized nations but also in emerging economies, where the erosion of labor cost advantages due to automation poses a significant risk. This research has become essential reading for scholars and policymakers grappling with the challenges of technological change. Beyond this landmark study, Weber’s broader body of work continues to shape our understanding of how structural economic transformations affect labor markets, making him a key voice in the ongoing conversation about the future of employment in an increasingly automated world.
