معرفی
Konrad Burchardi is Professor of Economics at the Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES) at Stockholm University. His academic work focuses on understanding economic development processes and the social foundations of economic behavior, with significant contributions to development economics and migration studies.
Professor Burchardi obtained his PhD in Economics from the London School of Economics (LSE), with prior studies conducted in Munich, Aix-en-Provence, and at LSE. His educational background reflects a strong international foundation in economic theory and development perspectives.
His research primarily centers on productivity growth at early stages of economic development and the social underpinnings of economic interactions. Key contributions include field experiments on sharecropping contracts in developing countries, demonstrating how output-sharing rules affect agricultural productivity, and research showing how migration ancestry influences foreign direct investment patterns. His work spans agricultural economics, migration studies, experimental economics, and economic networks, often employing rigorous field and natural experimental designs to establish causal relationships.
Analysis of Professor Burchardi's publication record reveals consistent contributions to top economics journals with a focus on development and labor economics. His work shows an evolution from examining micro-level economic behaviors in developing countries to broader questions about migration networks and their economic impacts. His recent publications indicate increasing attention to historical economic data and financial inclusion, with work scheduled through 2025.
