Ruyu Chen

Hi, welcome to my personal website! I am a research scientist at the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), working with Professor Erik Brynjolfsson. ​​

​

My research focuses on two main areas: 

• AI and the Future of Work: I study how emerging technologies, particularly generative AI, are transforming labor markets by reshaping employment, wages, skill demands, and organizational structures. 

• Information Technology Adoption and Firm Performance: I investigate the drivers of technology adoption within firms and analyze the subsequent impact on their innovation capabilities and competitive advantage.​​​

​​

Before joining Stanford, I earned my PhD in Managerial Economics from the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, with a graduate minor in Computer Science from Cornell University. I was fortunate to work under the supervision of Professor Chris Forman. I also hold a bachelor’s degree from Renmin University of China and was an exchange student at the University of Copenhagen. ​
