Short bio

Niklas joined the research division in January 2020. Prior to joining the Riksbank, he spent three years as a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Finance/Swedish House of Finance at the Stockholm School of Economics. He holds a B.Sc. and a Ph.D. in economics from the Stockholm School of Economics.

Niklas' research deals with topics in applied microeconomics and financial economics and is usually based on large-scale registry data on individuals, firms, and banks. Recent projects deal with topics such as the distributional income effects of monetary policy, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on corporate credit markets, inter-firm liquidity risk sharing using trade credit, and the effects of financial constraints on firms' price-setting behavior.

Niklas' research has been published in several of the world's leading economics journals, including the Journal of Political Economy, the American Economic Review: Insights, and the Journal of the European Economic Association.
