Lasse J. Jessen

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me.

I have recently joined the FHVD (free translation: University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration and Services) in Altenholz, Schleswig-Holstein. I have joined as a full faculty member for public finance, with all the duties, responsibilities, and prospects.

Teaching is a true passion of mine. I have extensive experience instructing both introductory and specialized courses for Bachelor’s and Master’s students in English and German, and I love helping students deepen their understanding of economics and public finance.

I am a dedicated researcher in the fields of experimental, behavioral, and public economics. My research spans diverse areas, including individual preferences over inequality, risk, and time, as well as perceptions of social inequalities. To explore these topics, I use a variety of methods—laboratory experiments, surveys, and survey experiments—that provide valuable insights into human behavior and societal dynamics.

Outside of academia, I’m a traveler and adventurer at heart, always seeking to merge my professional and personal growth with my passion for exploring the world. There’s a chance we’ve crossed paths somewhere along the way.

Above all, I’m a devoted father to two wonderful children and a caring husband. My family is my greatest priority, and I cherish every moment I get to spend with them—whether we’re in our garden, out in nature fishing or paddleboarding, biking, making musik, or cooking together. Though family appears last here, it always comes first in my life.
