Details

The AI Economics Institute has published its initial prospectus outlining out how the AIEI will look to structure its research. The prospectus focuses on two main areas. First it will build and analyse the evidence base on AI’s economic impacts, developing data infrastructure, measurement frameworks and empirical research to better understand how AI affects productivity, labour markets, and trade. Second, it will develop economic models and scenarios to assess how these impacts may evolve, supporting robust and resilient policy decisions under uncertainty.

In support of these functions, the Institute will engage closely with partners across government, industry and academia, acting as a focal point for collaboration and ensuring its analysis is timely, policy relevant and actionable.

The prospectus sets an initial research outlook. It will evolve as AI capabilities develop, evidence accumulates, and new policy questions emerge.
