Henry E. Siu serves as Professor at the Vancouver School of Economics, University of British Columbia (UBC), and Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). He holds leadership positions including Academic Director of the Centre for Innovative Data in Economics Research (CIDER), member of the Canadian Macroeconomics Study Group (CMSG) Secretariat, Canadian Economics Association Board of Directors, and Labour Market Information Council Experts Panel.
His research centers on macroeconomics and labour economics, with specialized expertise in automation's impact on middle-class job erosion, recession dynamics including jobless recoveries, and youth unemployment patterns. He investigates occupational sorting mechanisms, social task importance in high-wage roles, and pandemic-related economic disruptions through rigorous empirical analysis of labour market flows and structural changes.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2013-2024) reveals consistent focus on technological disruption in labour markets, particularly routine-biased automation driving job polarization. His work bridges macroeconomic theory with microdata evidence, examining wage dynamics across occupations, life-cycle career progression, and policy implications of technological change during economic crises.
Key recognition includes:
- Bank of Canada Governor's Award (inaugural recipient)
While specific grant details and advisee names remain unreported in available materials, his extensive policy engagement as visiting scholar with Federal Reserve Banks (Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, St. Louis), Reserve Bank of Australia, and Bank of Canada demonstrates significant applied research influence. His CIDER directorship facilitates innovative data-driven economic research, positioning him at the intersection of academic theory and real-world policy formulation.
