Nils H. Lehr

PhD Candidate in Economics

Boston University

Welcome to my personal webpage! I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at Boston University and expect to graduate in 2023. I am a macroeconomist focusing on economic growth, innovation, and technology adoption. In my research I combine quantitative economic modeling with rigorous empirical methods to shine light on important mechanisms driving innovation and technology choice on the aggregate. When I am not solving models or crunching numbers, I enjoy playing basketball, reading non-fiction books, and listening to way too many tech and policy podcasts.

I will be available for interviews at the European Econometric Assosiation meetings in December 2022 as well as the American Economic Association meetings in January 2023.
