Paul Gaggl is an Assistant Professor of Economics in the Belk College of Business at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His current research concentrates on the distributional effects of technology adoption, particularly concerning the heterogenous effects on different types of labour and the distribution of income between labour and capital. In this context, his most recent work has focused on the labour market and welfare implications of adopting information and communication technology (ICT) in the US, the UK, and around the world. He is currently involved in a series of projects studying similar issues related to electricity adoption in the early 20th century. He graduated from the University of Vienna and received his PHD in Economics from the University of California at Davis.
