About Matias Cortes
I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics at York University in Toronto, and a Research Fellow at IZA.
My primary research field is Labor Economics, with a focus on occupational mobility, technological change, wage inequality, the task content of occupations, and firm heterogeneity. I am also interested in the relationship between aggregate business cycle conditions and individual-level human capital acquisition.
