About Mikko Silliman

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Aalto University and the Helsinki Graduate School of Economics. I completed my Ph.D. at Harvard University.

My research focuses on questions at the intersection of education policy and labor economics. I'm particularly interested in trying to understand the forces driving inequality and how education systems and labor markets can be designed to reduce inequalities and sustain employment through changes in the nature of work.
