Sabrina Genz is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht School of Economics, specializing in Labour Economics. Her research focuses on the interplay between labour markets, technological progress, inequality, occupational tasks, and institutions. Notable among her achievements is the award of the NWO VENI grant for her project titled 'BRIDGE: Bargaining Rights, Institutions, Digitalization Generating Workplace Equality.' This project examines how collective bargaining agreements, which often include provisions such as training and layoff protection, affect firms' decisions regarding technology adoption and the impact of technology on workers. By analyzing Dutch agreements from 2000 and linking firm and worker data, her research explores the causal effects of collective bargaining agreements in protecting workers from technological change, ultimately providing practical recommendations for unions, employers, and policymakers to foster an inclusive and worker-friendly future of work.
