Albrecht Glitz

Albrecht Glitz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics and Business at Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain, where he conducts research at the intersection of labor economics, immigration, and espionage. His work examines critical economic phenomena through rigorous empirical analysis and policy-relevant frameworks.

His research focuses on three core areas: Labour Economics (analyzing wage determination, skill premiums, and labor market dynamics), Economics of Immigration (investigating assimilation patterns, fiscal impacts, and refugee integration), and Economics of Espionage (studying industrial espionage's effects on productivity and firm outcomes). He employs advanced econometric methods to explore how labor supply shocks, credential recognition, and social networks shape economic outcomes.

Glitz's publication record reveals a clear trajectory toward increasingly complex policy-relevant research, with recent work emphasizing refugee shocks, tax-immigration linkages, and espionage mechanisms. His articles consistently appear in top economics journals including the American Economic Review, Journal of Labor Economics, and Review of Economic Studies, demonstrating methodological sophistication and real-world applicability across labor market institutions and migration policy.
