Michael Haylock is an economist at the Health Economics department in Essen at the University of Duisburg-Essen, and is affiliated with CINCH. Dr. Haylock is an applied microeconomist. In his work on health economics, he researches the determinants of stem cell donor availability, and short and long term pandemic consequences. He has worked closely with DKMS in a research cooperation, the largest registrant of stem cell donors in Germany.

He also researches the determinants of helping and antisocial behaviour in firms using representative data. His work focuses on the interaction of sorting, preferences and personality, which can lead to more prosocial outcomes.
