Applied Microeconomics

The Applied Microeconomics research group unites researchers working on a broad array of topics within such areas as labour economics, economics of education, health economics, family economics, urban economics, environmental economics, and the economics of science and innovation. The group operates in close collaboration with the CAGE Research Centre.

The group participates in the CAGE seminar on Applied Economics, which runs weekly on Tuesdays at 2:15pm. Students and faculty members of the group present their ongoing work in two brown bag seminars, held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1pm. Students, in collaboration with faculty members, also organise a bi-weekly reading group in applied econometrics on Thursdays at 1pm. The group organises numerous events throughout the year, including the Research Away Day and several thematic workshops.

1pm - 2pm Export as iCalendar	Internal Metrics-Labour webinar via Microsoft Teams Future Shocked? AI, Skill Demand and Employment in the UK Labor Market (Emma Duchini, Mirko Draca, Arthur Turrell, Giulia Vattuone) Abstract: Artifical Intelligence (AI) technologies are developing fast. Exploiting a granular data set on online job listing data, this paper explores the diffusion of AI in the UK labor market. First, it traces the demand for AI skills over time, across occupations and counties. Second, it uses novel measures of AI-occupational exposure to study potential dynamics of substitution and complementarity between AI-performed tasks and those performed by humans. Third, it aims to assess the impact of AI on the structure of jobs, by implementing a text-based analysis of job ads.
