Marita Freimane

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Zurich. I am an applied microeconomist studying digital media markets, and my research also relates to topics in political economy and empirical IO.

My current work focuses on two areas: 

• Online news media: how aggregator platforms, competition, regulation, and financing models affect content production and quality; and

• Online toxicity: its causes, impact on digital content creation and broader online and offline outcomes.
