Manuel Hoffmann, Ph.D.
Faculty of Arts and Sciences Harvard University manuelhoffmann@fas.harvard.edu Find me on Google Scholar, Twitter, LinkedIn and Github. I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard Business School, Faculty of Arts and Science, and the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard University. I am also affiliated with the Stanford College of Medicine and the Heidelberg Institute of Global Health at the University of Heidelberg. I graduated with a PhD in Economics from Texas A&M University. Research Interests Health, Labor, and Behavioral Economics using quasi-experimental, experimental, and structural methods |
I am tackling large and interesting questions that can alter our understanding of individual health, firm, and societal welfare to inform policies for the betterment of society. Research providing an understanding of company health campaigns, social, and health insurance systems, and the media are of particular interest to me, as are the impacts of social interactions, such as peer effects in decision-making processes. The field of health economics at the intersection of labor economics is particularly fascinating as behavioral biases, perceptions, and inexperience have significant impacts on decision making and require the adoption of non-standard economic models using behavioral economics.
