Short bio

Magnus Lodefalk is an associate professor at Örebro University. He holds a PhD in economics from Örebro University and a BSc in economics from Stockholm University and a BA in political science from Linnaeus University. During his education he has studied at the University of Nottingham, Western University and Exeter University. In 2013, Lodefalk was awarded the prestigious Jan Wallander and Tom Hedelieus three year post-doctoral research grant in economics. Until the end of 2014, Lodefalk was also a senior advisor at the Swedish National Board of Trade.

Lodefalk's current research is focused on structural changes in business - such as the servicification of manufacturing and the entry of artificial intelligence (AI) in various industries - and on the drivers, barriers and effects of firm growth and globalisation.

Lodefalk has broad experience of analysis of structural economic change, internationalisation and trade policy, including the WTO. He has also headed capacity building in the area as well as lectured extensively on issues related to international economics. In recent years, he has become increasingly interested in the drivers and barriers to firm growth and internationalisation as well as implications for the labour market.

His works are published in established academic journals and have been drawn upon by international organisations and the Swedish government. Lodefalk has extensive networks both nationally and internationally, primarily in academia, government and international organisations.
