Jori Korpershoek

I am Jori Korpershoek, a post-doctoral researcher at Columbia University. I completed my PhD at the Erasmus School of Economics in Rotterdam in 2025. I have an interest in applied economic theory and empirical work. I can be reached at my personal email address. 

 Questions that I am currently working on:

• How is information distributed in society? How is it used, abused and aggregated in the democratic process? From information aggregation and wisdom of crowds, to campaigning and the changing media landscape.

• In democracies, elections serve many different potential roles. From the selection of politicians, to aggregating information, and revealing 'the will of the people.' How plausible are these different roles, and how do they interact?

• The replication crisis has revealed that a "credible identification strategy" is not enough to believe an empirical result. How can we use economic theory, other sources of information, and Bayesian methods to get more plausible estimates?
