I am an Associate Professor and a Marie-Curie Research Fellow at the Department of Economics (University of Southern Denmark), and an IZA Network affiliate. I am a member of Historical Economics and Economic Development Group, HEDG. I am also affiliated with the Department of Economic History and the Centre for Economic Demography (docent at Lund University), where I received my PhD.
This year I have received a Sapere Aude DFF Starting grant for my project “Long-term social change through normalization reforms targeting people with disabilities and their peers.”
I conduct research at the intersection of labour economics and economic history. My scholarly aim is to understand whether and how social interventions change the life of people for better. To achieve the aim, I study the historical reforms in the Nordic countries and apply the most recent methods of causal inference to individual-level historical and contemporary register data.
