Publications related to EfD by Olof Johansson-Stenman
My current research interest is largely about behavioral economics and about exploring deviations from the purely selfish, rational and atomistic "homo economicus." I am also interested in environmental economics, transport economics, public economics, risk, welfare economics, happiness research and normative economics more generally. An increasing share of my applied work is conducted in developing countries.
