Daniel Bougt

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Uppsala University in 2022. During my Ph.D. studies I also visited Columbia University.

My main research interests include applied micro theory, behavioral economics, and empirical IO/auctions. I also do some work related to bargaining and labor economics.

In my thesis I used both field data and data from lab experiments to study bidding in sequential auctions. I combined structural methods and reduced form analysis to differentiate between models and to estimate model parameters important for policy decisions.

In addition to my work on sequential auctions, some of my current work includes bargaining when one or more parties are constrained in their capability to process information. I was recently awarded a grant for this, and especially for how it can be applied to negotiations between workers and firms over compensations packages.
