I am an Associate Professor and a Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Department of Economics at the University of Southern Denmark, as well as an affiliate of the IZA Network. I am a member of the Historical Economics and Economic Development Group (HEDG) and am also affiliated with the Department of Economic History and the Centre for Economic Demography at Lund University, where I completed my PhD.
This year, I was awarded a prestigious Sapere Aude DFF Starting Grant for my project titled Long-term Social Change through Normalization Reforms Targeting People with Disabilities and Their Peers.
My research lies at the intersection of labor economics and economic history, with a focus on understanding whether and how social interventions improve people’s lives. To address these questions, I examine historical reforms in the Nordic countries and apply advanced causal inference methods to high-quality microdata.
