Nicolai Suppa is a Serra Húnter Fellow at the Department of Econometrics, Statistics and Applied Economics at the Universitat de Barcelona. He received his PhD in economics from TU Dortmund University in Germany, where he previously studied economics and sociology.

Broadly speaking, he is interested in questions about conceptualization, measurement and analysis of human well-being and related inequalities. More specifically, he is currently working on multidimensional poverty measurement and analysis, subjective well-being, and the capability approach.
