About Us

Generative AI Economics Research is an interdisciplinary group of labor economists and data scientists from the Hoover Institution, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Clemson University, and Stanford University studying how large language models (LLMs) affect the US labor markets.

Using national surveys and labor market data, we study AI adoption and integration patterns across sectors and analyze the short‑run effects on wages and occupation. Our current paper “The Labor Market Effects of Generative Artificial Intelligence” (SSRN #5136877), explores the first panel evidence on workplace AI use. It has received more than 10k downloads, and is due to be published in 2025.
