Stockholm, Sweden
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolFilip Mellgren is a PhD student in economics based in Stockholm with eight years of experience applying quantitative methods to questions of firm expansion and economic growth. He builds macroeconomic models grounded in Swedish administrative employer-employee data and pairs this empirical rigor with practical coding skills and machine learning, including reinforcement learning–based pricing algorithms. His background spans research roles across Europe and a visiting appointment at Yale, reflecting a blend of academic depth and applied project delivery. Less obvious: he has hands-on product and data experience from SaaS prototyping and data strategy work, which informs his ability to translate complex models into usable tools.
