Benjamin Larin is an Assistant Professor in Economics at Jönköping International Business School. His research is in macroeconomics, with a particular focus on inflation expectations, housing and asset prices, firm behavior, and entrepreneurship. He studies how expectations and financial conditions shape household and firm decisions, and how these decisions affect aggregate outcomes. His current projects examine left-digit bias and media coverage in household inflation expectations, the macroeconomic effects of asset-price bubbles, heterogeneity in firms’ pricing and cost structures, and the links between entrepreneurship, wealth, and pensions. His research combines economic theory with empirical and computational methods and often addresses questions relevant to monetary policy, housing policy, and public policy.

Benjamin received his PhD in Economics from Leipzig University in 2019. Before joining Jönköping University in 2021, he was an International Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of St. Gallen. He has also been a visiting scholar at Sveriges Riksbank, the University of Pennsylvania, and CREI at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and completed a PhD internship at the Bank of England. His research has been published in the Journal of the European Economic Association and the Journal of Economic Theory.
