معرفی
Dr. Emilie Rademakers serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Utrecht University's School of Economics within the Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance. Her research critically examines labor market transformations driven by technological advancements, with particular focus on economic inequality and structural shifts in employment systems.
Her expertise spans labour market dynamics, economic inequality, technological change, and online search competition. She investigates how automation and robotization reshape job polarization through task overlap mechanisms, analyzing both historical patterns and future trajectories of work. Her IOS - Future of Work research within Utrecht's Institutions for Open Societies initiative connects theoretical models with empirical evidence on technological displacement and skill redistribution.
Analysis of her 2019-2024 publications reveals consistent exploration of automation's labor market impacts, emphasizing resilience mechanisms through task similarity and structural transformation rather than simple job elimination. These works demonstrate methodological diversity across plant closure studies, job polarization frameworks, and macroeconomic analyses of technological diffusion.
Scientific Awards:
