welcome @ Patrick Arni 's Site

I am an economist and researcher working primarily in the areas of Public Policy Evaluation, Labor Economics and Behavioral Analysis.

Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol

also affiliated to IZA - Institute of Labor Economics in Bonn, CES-ifo in Munich, the Department of Economics at HEC Lausanne, from which I received my PhD, and CAFE at Aarhus University.

In 2014 I was a Visiting Research Scholar at the UC Berkeley, Center of Labor Economics.

A few keywords related to my current research: empirical analysis of behavior, (biased) beliefs, information and policy effects; evaluation of public policies; digital transition, technological change and skill demand; (online) job search behavior; incentive effects in unemployment insurance.

To implement these analyses, I work on creating novel combinations of large-scale data sources, on designing surveys, and I am involved in the setup of randomized field experiments.

...using the appropriate empirical approaches, including "big data" methods (like machine learning and text mining).
