Armando Nicolas Meier is a Professor of Health Economics at the University of Basel's Faculty of Business and Economics. His office is located at Peter Merian-Weg 6 in Basel, Switzerland. He maintains an active research profile and serves as a Senior Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics while continuing his primary appointment in Basel.
Meier earned his PhD in economics from the University of Basel, where he received the faculty prize for the best dissertation following research stays at Columbia University, the University of Chicago, and Stanford University. Prior to returning to Basel, he served as a Principal Researcher at the University of Chicago and a Senior Researcher at the University of Lausanne.
His research spans health economics with strong connections to behavioral, labor, and education economics. Meier's work examines how psychological factors influence economic decisions related to health, how peer effects shape occupational choices and mental health outcomes, and how policy interventions affect health behaviors. His research often employs rigorous empirical methods to analyze real-world data on vaccination behavior, tobacco use, mental health, and voting patterns.
Meier's publication record demonstrates a consistent trajectory of high-impact research, with publications spanning from 2016 to the present. His work shows a clear evolution from studying fundamental behavioral mechanisms to applying these insights to pressing public health challenges, particularly evident in his COVID-19 related research. The publications reveal a strong interdisciplinary approach, bridging economics with public health, psychology, and political science.
