Jonas Slaathaug Hansen

Jonas Slaathaug Hansen is a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Fellow) at the Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen, specializing in Empirical Industrial Organization and International Trade with a focus on automobile industry dynamics and firm-to-firm trade networks.

His research investigates market competition, supply chain shock transmission, and secondary market interactions through structural modeling of consumer behavior and firm linkages. Utilizing Danish-Swedish register data, he examines how superstar firm relationships drive productivity spillovers and how dynamic demand models capture nuanced substitution patterns in durable goods markets.

Recent publications analyze secondary market effects on automotive market power, comparative performance of discrete choice demand models under tax reforms, and productivity impacts of supplying multinational superstar firms. These studies advance methodologies for merger analysis, policy evaluation, and understanding cross-border knowledge diffusion in global supply chains.
