Niklas Jakobsson

Research

My research interests include health economics, behavioral economics, discrimination, gender issues, and public policy. Recently, I have become interested in replicating social science research and occasionally participate in such activities. My publications are available here.

Teaching

I mainly teach introductory microeconomics and causal inference.
