Susan Niknami began her doctoral studies at SOFI in 2012 and has been active here ever since. Her research focuses particularly on the economic aspects of crime, inequality, immigration, and integration.
Through her research, Susan Niknami has provided deeper insights into the complex relationships between economic incentives, crime, and social inequalities. Her appointment as Associate Professor further strengthens her role as an expert in these areas, and we look forward with great anticipation to her continued contributions to the field.
Labour economics is a very broad research field. In addition to research on labour market outcomes, such as wages and employment, the AME unit studies both elementary and higher education, health, taxes and income transfers, politics, crime and punishment, and gender equality.
SOFI’s gender research group GAINS (Gender Analysis and Interdisciplinary research Network, Stockholm) is a cross-disciplinary research environment that aims to facilitate social science research on issues related to gender. Our focus areas include the labor market, health, education, and family relations.
