Magnus Johannesson

Magnus Johannesson is a Professor and Chaired Professor in the Department of Economics at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE). His research focuses on Metascience, Experimental Economics, and Genoeconomics, with emphasis on topics like research reproducibility, genetic influences on behavior, and experimental design. He has contributed to high-impact journals such as Nature, Science, and PNAS.

• Research Interests:
  • Replicability and reproducibility in social sciences
  • Genetic correlates of economic and political preferences
  • Experimental methodologies in behavioral economics

Recent work highlights efforts to address analytical flexibility in medical research, evaluate the robustness of studies on gender diversity and economic behavior, and explore the genetic basis of educational attainment. His publications often challenge conventional findings through large-scale replication projects and meta-analyses.

Notable contributions include the Estimating the Reproducibility of Psychological Science (2015) and Genome-wide association study identifies 74 loci associated with educational attainment (2016). He actively promotes methodological rigor through pre-registration, structured robustness tests, and open science practices.

Professional networks include SSE’s Department of Economics, with collaborations on projects like the COVID-19 Preprint Replication Project. Contact: Email, Google Scholar.
