About
Dr. Olga Rivera is a leading scholar in the intersection of digital transformation, labor economics, and systemic modeling. Her research primarily explores how emerging technologies—including robotics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things—reshape competitiveness and employment structures. In her most cited work, "Digitalization, Competitiveness and Employment: A Systemic View Through System Dynamics" (2020), Rivera develops a groundbreaking framework that moves beyond linear cause-and-effect analyses. Using system dynamics modeling, she demonstrates how technological adoption creates complex feedback loops between productivity gains, job displacement, and new employment opportunities. This paper, which has garnered 2 citations, provides policymakers and business leaders with a holistic tool to anticipate and mitigate negative labor market disruptions while maximizing innovation benefits. Rivera’s contribution is particularly notable for bridging technical economic modeling with actionable policy insights, offering a nuanced perspective in debates often polarized between techno-optimism and automation anxiety. Her work stands as an essential reference for researchers and students examining how societies can harness digitalization for inclusive growth.
