The Sound of EconomicsCan/Should robots look after the young and the old?The future of work has become a prominent topic for research and policy debate. However, the debate has focused entirely on paid work, even though people in industrialised countries spend on average comparable amounts of time on unpaid work. This ranges from simple daily chores like sweeping the floor and cooking, to more complicated and controversial issues like robots looking after kids or the elderly.
In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro sits down with Ekaterina Hertog and Fabian Stephany to investigate the road less travelled, Ekaterina’s research on the potential and the willingness of...2023-11-0842 min
Exploring Digital SpheresS02 E03: Exploring Kenya's gig work opportunities
Digital platforms are fundamentally changing the world of work. While the platform economy opens immense opportunities for flexible, gainful and convenient entrepreneurship, the precarious livelihoods of workers and service providers often remain unaddressed.
Right after our Multi-stakeholder dialogue in November 2022 in Nairobi, SET-researchers Marie Blüml and Fabian Stephany talked with Tom Kwanya, the main author of our study on gig platform regulations in Kenya, and Teresios Bundi, gig work researcher and member of Kenyan gig workers union to discuss possible pathways towards a fairer online platform economy in Kenya. Find out which opportunities gig work can offer and w...2023-04-2734 min
Digitaler SalonVon Gig zu GigÜber die Zukunft der Plattformarbeit
Gigwork, Crowdwork, Cloudwork – die Arbeit in der Plattformökonomie hat viele Namen. Das gemeinsame Kennzeichen: Arbeitgeber und Erwerbstätige kommen auf digitalen Plattformen meist für kleinere oder zeitlich begrenzte Arbeitsaufträge – auch ‘Gigs’ genannt – zusammen (z.B. Lieferbotinnen, Designerinnen oder Entwicklerinnen). Die Beschäftigung über Gigs ermöglicht vielen Erwerbstätigen – gerade in ökonomischen Schwellenländern – eine neue Form von flexiblem und selbstbestimmten Einkommen. Oftmals ist Plattformarbeit aber noch immer von unsicheren Verhältnissen, Mangel an Fairness und kurzen Befristungen gekennzeichnet. Gig-Workerinnen sind überwiegend vom Wohlwollen der Plattformbetreiber*innen abhängig oder ungeschützt der undurchsichtigen Kont...2023-04-061h 12The Sound of EconomicsWhy are remote jobs only happening in the cities?Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a record number of people have begun to work from home. However, the seeming flexibility of remote positions is not without its limitations, since the spatial distribution of such roles is vastly uneven.
In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro is joined by Fabian Stephany and Monica Stephens to explore how remote work contributes to continued urbanisation. They give special focus to the importance of digital infrastructure and the proximity of service providers, as well as the gendered dimensions of working from home and how this can affect p...2023-04-0534 min
Net New - Der Meta Podcast#10 Innovationen Part 2: die Technologien der Zukunft
„Alles, was erfunden werden kann, wurde bereits erfunden.“, davon war Charles H. Duell, der Chef des amerikanischen Patentamts, 1899 felsenfest überzeugt. Heute können wir über eine solche Aussage nur lachen und wissen genau: was für eine kolossale Fehleinschätzung! In diesem Staffelfinale von „Net New - Der Metapodcast” werfen wir gemeinsam mit Jana Riva erneut einen Blick in die Zukunft! Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der sich der technologische Fortschritt exponentiell weiterentwickelt. Jeden Tag entstehen neue Innovationen, die anhand von verschiedensten Kombinationsmöglichkeiten mit bestehenden Technologien wiederum zur nächsten Neuheit führen. Gerade unsere Arbeitswelt hat dabei durch vers...2023-01-1926 minThe Sound of EconomicsThe dominance of the platform economyThe Internet was supposed to liberate us from powerful institutions. But the reality might be he who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself. In this episode of the Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro and Fabian Stephany invite Vili Lehdonvirta to present his latest book, Cloud Empires, where he explains how Silicon Valley technologists end up recreating digital forms of the very institutions that they were trying to render obsolete. They also discuss the labour market.

BE:CURIOUS – A Podcast by the Oxford/Berlin Research Partnership#1 From Covid to Gentrification – Using Big Data to Help Wider SocietyEvery day through our computers and devices, a myriad of apps and services track our behaviour in precise detail. Most of this information is collected and analysed by companies that are trying to sell us things; whether it’s Amazon trying to sell us products, or Google looking to sell ads that are precisely targeted to us as individuals. But could this wealth of data also be used in ways that actually benefit wider society? That’s what economists and data-scientists Fabian Braesemann and Fabian Stephany are hoping to do with DWG, a Berlin-based company that they are curre...2022-02-1532 min

In a collaborative project researchers from Oxford and Berlin developed an index as the first economic indicator of industry-specific risk assessments related to Covid-19, based on financial disclosures of US companies. The index can provide valuable real-time information about economic risks associated with the pandemic, and it has already been featured in Oxford University News, the Washington Post, and the Wirtschaftswoche.
