Dr Pablo Olmos

Dr Olmos’ research studies the relationship between time allocation, income, and economic development. By analysing thousands of time use diaries for individuals of all incomes and educational attainment levels in a set of both developed and developing economies, his research is able to identify striking time use patterns that help us understand better the relationship between income inequality and wellbeing.

A related, but separate, current research interest of Dr Olmos is understanding the effects of reducing working hours both in the wellbeing of workers and the productivity of firms.
