Joonas TuhkuriAssistant Professor

About me

I’m an economist (PhD, MIT) and an Assistant Professor of Economics at Stockholm University. I’m also affiliated with RF Berlin, Etla, and IZA.

My research focuses on technology, work, and psychology using novel large-scale data. For example, my latest work documents that when firms adopted advanced technologies they increased employment—contrasting with common concerns about the future of work. I’ve also created a real-time forecast ETLAnow that predicts unemployment using Google search data.

The media has featured my research widely, including in The Economist and Wired. The main Finnish newspaper, HS, listed me in their 35 under 35 and my PhD thesis received the Upjohn Institute Award.
