Niklas Amberg

I am a researcher in the Research Division of Sveriges Riksbank, the Swedish central bank. My research deals with topics in applied microeconomics and financial economics and is usually based on large-scale registry data on individuals, firms, and banks. Recent projects deal with topics such as the distributional income effects of monetary policy, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on corporate credit markets, inter-firm liquidity risk sharing using trade credit, and the effects of financial constraints on firms' price-setting behavior. I joined the Riksbank in January 2020. Prior to this, I spent three years as a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Finance/Swedish House of Finance at the Stockholm School of Economics. I hold a B.Sc. and a Ph.D. in economics, both from the Stockholm School of Economics. In 2013-14, I spent a year as a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley and the Berkeley Economic History Lab. My research has been published in several of the world's leading economics journals, including the Journal of Political Economy, the American Economic Review: Insights, and the Journal of the European Economic Association.
