I am an economist at the Stockholm School of Economics primarily interested in applied microeconomics and behavioral economics. I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from Stockholm School of Economics in 2008 and worked at the Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES) between 2008 and 2018. I also enjoy writing about economics for a broader audience, primarily at the Swedish blog Ekonomistas.
