Daniel Kamhöfer

Welcome to my personal webpage!

I'm an applied economist working towards a better understanding of the formation of cognitive and socio-emotional skills, the returns associated with and caused by these skills, and how policy interventions can influence this process to promote personal well-being and reduce social inequalities.

My research covers, for instance, the returns to education, the determinants and consequences of self-control, and the drivers of mental health.

In my research, I employ a large array of quantitative methods to current topics in economic policy. These methods include quasi-experimental research designs, randomized controlled trials, and machine-learning tools for the explorative analysis of data.
