Emma Rockall is a PhD candidate in economics at Stanford University. She works on macroeconomics and labour, focusing on innovation, technology diffusion and inequality. Her research includes the impact of policies that affect labour mobility (such as noncompete agreements) on aggregate innovation, and the impact of AI on inequality, and how policies that aim to correct this can influence adoption. She did her undergraduate degree at Oxford, masters at University College of London, and previously worked at the Bank of England.
