About Martin Koenen
I am an Assistant Professor at the IIES at Stockholm University and received my PhD in Political Economy and Government in 2025 from Harvard.
In my research, I primarily explore how social capital shapes economic outcomes, for instance by influencing where people live and how much they earn. In a second strand of work, I investigate the causes and consequences of political preferences and polarization.
