Claes Bäckman

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE and a guest researcher at Norges Bank.

I am an economist working on finance, housing, and macroeconomics. I use administrative data, surveys, and theoretical models to study how households make decisions about housing, mortgages, and investments. My work has been published in the Review of Financial Studies, the Review of Finance, the Journal of Urban Economics and others. For more, see my research and CV.

I written a number of guides for using AI in academic research, for an overview see my AI guides. I write about AI, coding, research and housing on Substack. I have also created a collection of resources for PhD students on doing research, see the resources page.
