The lead academic behind an MIT CEEPR research paper which casts doubt on the sustainability of driving for Uber or Lyft has accepted Uber’s criticism of how driver income data was gathered and said he will revise the research using more generous income calculations.

“Uber’s Chief Economist Jonathan Hall wrote a thoughtful response expressing his concern with one aspect of our paper,” wrote lead author Stephen Zoepf in a response statement yesterday to the company’s critique of the research. “Hall’s specific criticism is valid; in retrospect the survey questions could and should have been worded more clearly.”
