Emil Palikot

I am an Assistant Professor of Marketing at Northeastern University. I am also a research affiliate at Golub Capital Social Impact Lab at Stanford University.

My research broadly focuses on AI, platforms, and labor markets, with particular emphasis on understanding how digital technologies reshape work, hiring, and economic opportunity. My current work examines the economics of digitization in labor markets, platform design for optimal matching, and the intersection of causal inference and machine learning in understanding worker behavior. I have worked on several application areas, including AI-assisted recruitment systems, online reputation mechanisms, digital labor platforms, algorithmic hiring processes, and technology interventions for career development and social mobility.
