About Mitesh Kataria
I'm a tenured Associate Professor (Docent) at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. I mainly work with applied welfare economics and data analysis related to market failures and policies. I'm interested in many different aspects of collective action problems; anything from the ethical underpinnings of collective choices - to methodological issues of how to efficiently design and analyze preference data. I take an interest in hedonic measures and preference satisfaction in the assessment of individual welfare, together with various other measures of individual welfare. My commitment to advancing the understanding of these complex issues reflects my dedication to contributing valuable insights to economics and policy analysis.
