Economist studying firm dynamics and structural transformation. Building AI infrastructure governed by the coordination principles I study.
I work at the intersection of empirical economics and AI. My research uses Swedish employer-employee matched data and a novel XBRL dataset — 400,000 digitized annual reports from 2020–2025 — to study how firms adapt to structural change.
I build AI systems using the same coordination principles I study. My personal infrastructure — The Waking System — runs six autonomous agents governed by a decentralized protocol inspired by Hayek's theory of distributed knowledge.
Six AI agents coordinate through handshake protocols, exercise autonomous judgment through monitoring loops, and are governed by a graduated trust mechanism. Built by an economist who studies why decentralized systems outperform centralized ones.
