Until May 2019, HCHE member Jakob Everding will continue to work as a guest scientist at the Department of Economics der University of California, Irvine (UCI), USA. Since the beginning of the year, he has been researching with Prof. Matthew Harding from the UCI's Deep Data Lab on factors that contribute to mental health of various risk groups and on projects on risky health behaviors. In particular, he uses US data and methods from econometrics and machine learning to empirically analyze causal effects of marijuana legalization policies.
The joint research is the beginning of a long-term collaboration between the Deep Data Lab of the University of California and HCHE. Further joint projects and the exchange of scientists both in Irvine and in Hamburg will follow.
