Alexander Busch

PhD Student in Management

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

I am a PhD student at the Institute for Work and Employment Research of MIT Sloan. Previously, I worked as pre-doc for Simon Jäger and Benjamin Schoefer at MIT/UC Berkeley and studied Economics and Sociology at the LSE, Heidelberg University, and Goethe University Frankfurt.

My research assesses how organized labor shapes the labor market. In current projects I evaluate the economic impact of strikes, sectoral bargaining, and the impact of unions on gender inequality.
