Randi Hjalmarsson received her PhD in economics from Yale University in 2005. She was an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland, School of Public Policy from 2005 to 2009, a lecturer and Professor at Queen Mary University of London from 2010-2013. She has since settled in Sweden, and is currently Professor of Economics at the University of Gothenburg.

She has done extensive research on the economics of crime and the criminal justice system. Her current research emphasizes: (i) the determinants of crime, (ii) biases and dynamics in jury decision making, (iii) racial biases in the criminal justice system, (iv) the effects of prison and prison treatment programs on post-release crime, health, and labor market outcomes, and (v) the labor market for workers with criminal records.

Her work has been published in leading international academic journals including the Quarterly Journal of Economics, AER: Insights, AEJ: Applied, AEJ: Economic Policy, Journal of the European Economic Association, Review of Economics and Statistics, and The Economic Journal. Her research has been funded, in part, by grants from the US National Science Foundation and the Swedish Research Council's Distinguished Young Researchers Program.

Her current research agenda is funded by a five-year European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant titled "Breaking the Crime-Inequality Cycle".
