Manuel Hoffmann

Welcome!


I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard which is housed within the Digital, Data, and Design institute at Harvard Business School. I am also affiliated with the Stanford Center for Population Health Sciences.

In my research, I focus on a technological, social, and medical innovation in an open and closed environment that may alter our understanding of individual, firm, and societal welfare to inform policies for the betterment of society. Research providing an understanding of the analog and digital world, company campaigns, media, and artificial intelligence are of particular interest to me, as are social interactions directly through peers or indirectly through social norms as well as the value of priceless goods.
