dr. K. Burzynska (Katarzyna)

Katarzyna Burzynska joined the Department of Economics as an Assistant Professor in July 2015. She earned her Ph.D. in Economics from Lund University, Sweden. During her Ph.D. studies she spent eight months as a visiting scholar at the Institute of Economics at Academia Sinica, Taiwan. She is currently also affiliated with the Knut Wicksell Centre for Financial Studies at Lund University.

She works at the intersection of economics, management, and health research.
Her research examines how networks shape economic, organizational, and societal outcomes:
how relationships between individuals, organizations, and countries influence access to opportunities, patterns of inequality, coordination, and change. Specifically, her research centers around three closely connected lines: 1) inequality and corporate governance; 2) shocks and sustainability transitions; and 3) governance in healthcare networks. Most recently, she investigates how healthcare networks are organized, governed, and incentivized and how those aspects relate to quality of care. In particular she studies the role of payment systems and power dynamics in healthcare networks and the relationship between particular aspects of integrated care and care outcomes and processes in maternity care. Her research has been regularly supported by competitive funding and research grants.
