About Katarina Nordblom

My research interests are in public and behavioral economics. One area in which I have focused lately is tax compliance, where I combine knowledge from the two research fields. I also conduct research on Swedish taxes as well as on social preferences and decision making. I do both theoretical and empirical research, but all of my research is concerned with policy relevant issues and/or tries to understand new aspects of individual behavior and decision making.
