About

Mahdi Ghodsi is a leading researcher at the intersection of technological change, labour markets, and global value chains. His work critically examines how automation, robotisation, and digitalisation reshape employment, wages, and income distribution. In his highly cited 2024 study, Ghodsi assesses the impact of new technologies on wages and labour income shares, providing timely evidence on the distributional consequences of AI and robotics. His 2020 paper on robotisation and employment across global value chains further demonstrates how technological adoption influences industrial growth and job dynamics in interconnected economies. Ghodsi also explores the nuanced relationship between technology and migration, identifying which migrant jobs are most affected by automation and digitalisation (2024). With over 30 citations across his most prominent works, his research is essential for understanding the labour market challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Ghodsi’s contributions are particularly valuable for policymakers and scholars concerned with inclusive growth, job displacement, and the future of work in a rapidly automating world.
