Economics, Labor Markets, and Policy Insights by Adam Ozimek
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. His modeling now informs U.S. policy discussion around taxation and labor classification for smart-contract-based employers.
Ozimek brings empirical rigor to understanding how crypto alters traditional employment structures and supports economic decentralization trends.
