1. Research
  2. Post-graduate incubator

In 2018, we established our own post-graduate incubator to fund post-graduate students. In 2019, three post-graduate students were selected for the incubator. The post-graduate incubator is supported and financed primarily by the Finnish Wage Earners’ Foundation (Palkansaajasäätiö). Students admitted to the incubator can focus on their post-graduate studies and completing their dissertations. Participation in the incubator involves a long-term commitment. The incubator’s activities focus on applied research without specifying the topics of the dissertations. Students receive guidance for their work from their own university, while their work in the incubator is supported by our own researchers.

The three students participating in the incubator in 2023 are Sami Jysmä, Aapo Stenhammar, Sanni Kiviholma ja Outi Jurvanen. They are all fourth- to sixth-year post-graduate students from different universities who are engaged in both post-graduate courses and research for their dissertations. All students participating in the post-graduate incubator also spend a year at a major university abroad.

  • SAMI JYSMÄ

    SAMI JYSMÄ attends the University of Tampere and was a research trainee with us already in 2016. The focus of his research has been on public finances (including the impact of the confectionery tax, the impact of mortgages on household consumption, and labour supply). Sami has proven to be a good researcher and is progressing in his studies according to his target schedule. Sami was a visiting researcher at Harvard University and NBER from 2022 to 2023.

  • OUTI JURVANEN

    OUTI JURVANEN is a researcher in Labore’s post-graduate incubator. She is an economics doctoral student from the University of Helsinki. Her empirical research focuses on understanding the dynamics and effects of the green transition. Her supervisors are Lassi Ahlvik and Niku Määttänen from the University of Helsinki.
