I am an Assistant Professor in Economics and Marie-Curie Research Fellow at the Department of Economics (Econometrics and Data Science research group) and Interdisciplinary Centre for Population Dynamics (University of Southern Denmark). I am an active 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 (Lund University), where I received a PhD in Economic History in 2017.
My scholarly aim is to understand to what extent and how people can change the life of others for better: Can it be through scientific knowledge, public educational and health reforms, and programs that change conservative norms? To achieve the aim, I apply the most recent methods of causal inference to individual-level historical and contemporary register data.
Research areas and interests: labour economics, public economics, health economics, economic demography, and economic history.
