Olexiy Kyrychenko

I am an applied microeconomist with research interests at the intersection of environmental and health economics, climate change, and sustainable development.

In my recent work I combine large administrative datasets with satellite-derived estimates and spatial information (i) to quantify the effects of air pollution on infant mortality, (ii) to reexamine the effectiveness of environmental regulations, and (iii) to study the impact of air temperature on output and climate change adaptation strategies of manufacturing firms. 

I am an Assistant Professor at the Nijmegen School of Management and a team member of the Global Data Lab at the Institute for Management Research, Radboud University (the Netherlands). I received a Ph.D. in Economics and Econometrics from CERGE-EI (the Czech Republic, under a U.S. permanent charter) in 2023. I was also awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship and held visiting positions at Princeton University (Health and Wellbeing, 2018) and UC Berkeley (Environmental Economics, 2019-2020). Before CERGE-EI, I held various teaching, research, and administrative positions at Zaporizhzhia National Technical University (Ukraine), including an Associate Professor position at the chair of International Economic Relations. During this period of my career, I obtained a CSc. (Ph.D.) in World Economy and International Economic Relations from Dnipropetrovsk University of Economics and Law (Ukraine) and was awarded an academic rank of a Docent (Associate Professor). I was also a recipient of the Fulbright Scholar Award for conducting his research (International Finance) at UC Berkeley in the 2011-2012 academic year.
