Personal profile

Research interests

Economics of knowledge production: I am interested in what drives and inhibits individual’s and organizations to create and disseminate knowledge – from exchanges in online communities to contributions in OSS repositories.

Economics of entertainment: While the music, movie and gaming industry each individually constitute multi-billion-dollar industries, they are surprisingly under-researched in economics, management and information systems. Hence, I am interested what determines success in the cultural sector, and how strategies and policies impact consumer demand.

Economics of technological change: from the printing press to generative AI, technological change has fascinated the public and scholars alike for centuries. I am interested in how technology affects organizations and consumer behaviour – in particular what lessons from the past remain pertinent, and what is new about new technologies when it comes to societal impact.
