David Autor and Daron Acemoglu will lead the research program of a policy lab examining how technological change can be harnessed to increase employment opportunities and promote long-term gains in economic opportunity and social mobility. They will study how technologies such as automation and artificial intelligence are altering employment opportunities and explore policy interventions that could allow workers of all skill levels to benefit from the productivity gains associated with new technologies. The policy lab’s findings will appear in a stream of papers and policy briefs.

Josh Angrist, Parag Pathak, and Jack Mountjoy will examine whether charter schools with records of increasing levels of academic achievement also have positive long-term economic and social impacts on children from low-income families. They will analyze data from admissions lotteries sponsored by charter management organizations in Texas to assess whether winning a slot in one of these schools leads to changes in rates of college enrollment and completion, levels of employment and earnings, and risk of involvement in the criminal justice system. The project’s findings will be published in a series of papers.
