Affiliated Faculty

Paul Oyer studies the economics of organizations and human resource practices.

His work examines the use of broad-based stock option plans and how firms use non-cash benefits and respond to limits on their ability to displace workers. He also explores how labor market conditions affect their entire careers when MBAs and PhD economists leave school.

Paul’s current projects include studies of the gig economy and a study of how people’s backgrounds determine their decision to become an entrepreneur, as well as the success of ventures that they pursue.
