Jaime Arellano-Bover is a Lecturer in Economics and Senior Research Scientist at Yale University's Department of Economics. His research focuses on labor economics and applied microeconomics, with emphasis on young workers' labor market entry, firm heterogeneity effects, immigrant job mobility, organized crime infiltration in firms, and the evolution of the gender pay gap. He holds a PhD from Stanford University (2019) and a BA from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (2013).

His work examines critical issues such as how first-job assignments influence long-term career trajectories, the role of firm size in skill development, and the economic integration of immigrants. Recent studies include analyzing organized crime's infiltration motives in legal firms and the intergenerational mobility of immigrants across 15 countries.

Publications span topics like the declining gender pay gap through cohort analysis, the impact of college majors on first-job outcomes, and the economic consequences of historical displacements like Japanese American internment. His research bridges empirical analysis with policy relevance, addressing modern labor market challenges and global migration dynamics.
