The Stanford Digital Economy Lab conducts groundbreaking research on the impact of the digital economy.
The impact of a changing economy is being felt by everyone–and it’s crossing the boundaries of wealth, status, geography, and culture. The Stanford Digital Economy Lab is committed to lowering the barriers to understanding how the digital economy will shape our future with accessible, evidence-based information spanning a wide range of media.
We bring together an interdisciplinary group of passionate researchers to study how digital technologies are transforming work, organizations, and the economy. Our insights are helping companies, policymakers, students, and professionals rise to the challenges and opportunities created by digitization.
We believe in the power of human work and that augmenting human capabilities with machine capabilities will lead to the most profitable gains for everyone.
The Lab is part of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and co-sponsored by the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR).
Check out our postdoctoral openings in three research areas: Human-AI Interaction Systems & Civil Discourse, Measuring the Digital Economy, and AI and the Economics of Aging Populations.

We’re part of Stanford HAI
We are proud to be a part of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), one of the leading centers in the world focused on the the intersection of humans and artificial intelligence. Our work within the Institute provides the opportunity to put a human face on a field that often feels opaque or abstract. HAI is led by co-directors John Etchemendy and Fei-Fei Li.
