About Me

Nikolaos Prodromidis

Welcome to my personal website. I am a Browaldh Postdoctoral Fellow at the Unit of Economic History, Umeå University. My research focuses on health economics, labor economics, and economic history.

I study the long-run effects of historical public health and labor market reforms, primarily using Swedish administrative data and quasi-experimental methods. Recent work examines working-time regulations, the expansion of hospital births, and place-based restrictions on youth vaping.

My CV is available here.
