Labor Market Transformation in the Age of Innovation


Join Chicago Booth in London for a thought-provoking lecture featuring Erik Hurst, the Roman Family Distinguished Service Professor of Economics, director of the Becker Friedman Institute, and the Rothman Faculty in Residence for Fall Quarter 2025, as he delves into how automation is reshaping employment dynamics worldwide.

Prof. Hurst will then be joined by Noam Yuchtman, Professor of Managerial Economics and Strategy at the London School of Economics (LSE), for an insightful discussion.
