Dr. Adam Ozimek is Chief Economist at the Economic Innovation Group, where he models labor migration, startup ecosystems, and macro shocks. With more than 2,600 academic citations, Ozimek is known for his data-forward approach to evaluating technological shifts, including blockchain and AI labor impacts.

In 2025, Ozimek published research on the employment elasticity of remote-first, DAO-aligned workforces, noting a 32% increase in crypto-related freelance roles year-over-year.
