Maarten Goos is a Full Professor in the Department of Economics at the Tilburg School of Economics and Management (TiSEM), Tilburg University, Netherlands. His academic work is deeply rooted in labor economics, with a focus on the interplay between technological change, labor markets, and economic inequality.
His research interests include labor problems, technological change, industrial relations, the role of unions, monopsony in labor markets, and the socioeconomic effects of automation and artificial intelligence. He investigates how firms adopt new technologies and how these changes affect workers, particularly in terms of job displacement, wage dynamics, and career trajectories.
The recent publications listed demonstrate a consistent and high-impact research agenda centered on automation and its labor market consequences. His work combines rigorous empirical analysis with policy-relevant insights, often using firm-level and individual-level data from the Netherlands and beyond. Themes across these articles include the impact of automation on employment stability, the governance challenges posed by AI, and the microeconomic foundations of technological change.
