Matthias Roesti - Personal Website

Welcome to my website. I am an Economist and Computational Social Scientist who uses new data science approaches to further our understanding of how political views are formed and influenced in a modern media environment.

My research focuses on sustainability and political economy, covering sustainability-related communication, the role of trust in cooperative behavior, and lobbying and media.

At present, I am visiting Brown University for the 2025/2026 academic year. In addition, I am a Research Associate at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. 

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Harvard Business School. I hold a PhD in Economics and Finance from the University of St. Gallen, an MPhil in Economics from the University of Oxford, and a BSc in Economics from the University of Bern. Click here to access my CV.
