Institute for International Economic Studies The IIES at Stockholm University is one of Europe's leading institutions for research in economics. The IIES is a research institute at Stockholm University.

Founded in 1962, it has become one of the leading institutions in Europe in advanced research in economics, broadly defined. The mission of the IIES condenses the three broad goals of Stockholm University at a top level: to train PhD economists, conduct cutting-edge research, and actively engage in high-level public policy discussions in Sweden and beyond. The three aims of the IIES are tightly interconnected. For the training of future PhDs and for ensuring that any policy advice is updated and based on sound empirical and theoretical grounds, an ongoing close engagement with the international research frontier is necessary. To this end, the IIES researchers themselves engage in research projects aimed at broad international impact. The PhD students based at the IIES are an integral part of its research environment. A defining feature of the PhD training, which is part of a Stockholm-wide program involving other institutions, is to encourage the students to take on ambitious and challenging questions of broad value to society. Upon graduation, IIES’s students go on to tenure-track jobs at universities worldwide or positions in government and other organizations. The list of leading Swedish decision makers with an IIES background is long. The IIES has a global aim with its research. However, its international profile is broader than that. A significant fraction of the faculty as well as PhD students, along with visiting seminar speakers and researchers, come from a wide variety of countries. The working language at the IIES is English.

"Vi forskare måste ge tillbaka till samhället och delta i samhällsdebatten."

Med de orden satte professor John Hassler tonen för invigningen av Assar Lindbeck centrum vid Stockholm University.

Centret har bildats för att främja internationellt ledande forskning och stärka dialogen mellan akademi, beslutsfattare och samhälle. Under invigningen presenterade forskare från IIES ny forskning om bland annat Europas konkurrenskraft, bistånd och barns välfärd.

Nu börjar arbetet med att föra vidare Assar Lindbecks arv: forskning som inte bara håller högsta kvalitet, utan också bidrar till samhällsutvecklingen.

Ett varmt tack till SNS för ett generöst värdskap och för allt arbete bakom kulisserna som bidrog till en lyckad invigning! Vi ser fram emot fortsatta samarbeten!

What drives productivity growth, how should we measure automation, and why does inflation remain persistent?
These are the questions explored in Chek Yin Choi's doctoral thesis, Input Market, Automation, and Inflation: Essays in Macroeconomics.
The thesis finds that:
• Better access to suppliers can increase productivity while also strengthening the position of the most productive firms.
• The way automation is defined has a major impact on conclusions about its labour market effects.
• Firms' decisions about when to adjust prices can help explain why inflation often remains elevated over time.
An interesting contribution to ongoing discussions about productivity, technological change and inflation.
Chek will defend his thesis on September 21.

När Sverige drabbades av 1990-talskrisen kallades en expertgrupp under Assar Lindbecks ledning in för att hitta vägen framåt. I en intervju med EFNs Finansmagasinet berättar professor Torsten Persson, en av kommissionens ledamöter, om dramatiken bakom kulisserna och hur dess reformer kom att prägla svensk ekonomisk politik under de följande decennierna.

De räddade oss från krisen • Torsten Persson om arbetet bakom Lindbeckkommissionen
