Ludvig Sinander awarded Leverhulme Prize in Economics

Ludvig Sinander, Associate Professor in the Department of Economics, has been awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize in Economics for his contributions to economic theory.

These awards celebrate the achievements of outstanding researchers whose work has already attracted international recognition and whose future careers are exceptionally promising.

Ludvig’s research spans a broad range of theoretical work. He focuses on how to design systems that motivate people to act in desired ways, known as incentive or mechanism design, and on developing the mathematical tools that underpin modern economics.

He has also studied strategic issues in voting, how decisions unfold over time in repeated situations (dynamic game theory), and contributed to wider areas including communication, discrimination, and decision-making.
