Hong-Yi Tu Ye

PhD Candidate

I’m a final year PhD Candidate at MIT Sloan (Information Systems/Technologies Group) jointly advised by Erik Brynjolfsson and John Horton. I am also a graduate student affiliate at the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy and the Stanford Digital Economy Lab. My research is focused on the economics of artificial intelligence with an emphasis on labor market impacts, entrepreneurship, and digital experimentation.

Previously I was a pre-doctoral fellow at Stanford studying the impact of Medicare quantity regulation (local coverage determination) on physician behavior.
