Welcome

I am a Research Professor at VIVE — The Danish Center for Social Science Research in Copenhagen, where I work in the Health and Later Life research department.

My research lies in applied labour and public economics. I study the economics of education, pensions and retirement, labour supply, and the intergenerational transmission of economic outcomes, drawing extensively on Danish administrative register data.

My work has appeared in outlets including the Review of Economics and Statistics and the Journal of Applied Econometrics, and I have contributed to the NBER International Social Security project on retirement and health around the world. I am affiliated with the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), where my work spans public economics, health economics, and poverty and income inequality.

Before joining VIVE, I was Professor at SFI — The Danish National Centre for Social Research, which merged into VIVE in 2017, and I was previously affiliated with Aarhus University.
