SIMAS KUČINSKAS
Lakestar Junior Professor
Currently, I am the Lakestar Junior Professor at Humboldt University of Berlin (Finance Group). I obtained a PhD in Economics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2018. Prior to joining Humboldt, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Amsterdam.
My main research interests lie in finance (banking and corporate finance) and behavioral economics, with a focus on methods. With Francisco Arroyo Marioli, Francisco Bullano, and Carlos Rondón-Moreno, we have recently published a paper developing a new way to estimate the effective reproduction number of an infectious disease. We maintain a dashboard where we provide daily estimates for COVID-19.
