Jesper Böjeryd (UCLA)

- I am a fifth-year PhD student at UCLA from Sweden, who got into economic research through my work as a research assistant at the Riksbank and the Swedish House of Finance. Before that, I studied engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology.

- By using Scandinavian household data, I explore how households respond to changes in macroeconomic variables such as home prices and interest rates. I also study the determination of home prices in general equilibrium, with respect to aggregate income shocks. I delve deeper into the transmission mechanisms by exploiting heterogeneity in the data and different economic settings that provide some exogenous variation. So my research lies in the intersection of household finance and macroeconomics and feels very much at home at CeMoF.
