About me:

Michał Myck is a professor at the Institute of Economics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and director of the CenEA Center for Economic Analysis. He previously worked at the Institute for Fiscal Studies in London (1999-2004; International Fellow 2005-2011) and at DIW-Berlin (2005-2013). From 2005 to 2017, he headed the Polish research group of the "SHARE: 50+ in Europe" project (Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe).

He received a first-class honors degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford (First Class, 1997) and a Master of Philosophy in Economics (1999). In March 2006, he received a PhD in Economics from the University of Warsaw. In June 2015, he completed his habilitation at the Freie Universität Berlin, where he was affiliated as a Privatdozent from 2015 to 2018. In December 2018, he obtained the status of Privatdozent at the University of Greifswald.

His research focuses on modeling labor market behavior and the impact of labor market regulations on employment and retirement decisions. He has also studied the properties of tax and benefit systems and worked on issues related to the measurement of poverty, income inequality, and health. He has led six projects funded by the National Science Center. He has published in journals such as American Economic Journal – Economic Policy, Journal of Health Economics, Social Science and Medicine, Labor Economics, Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Fiscal Studies, Oxford Review of Economic Policy, and Review of Economics of the Household.
