I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Economics, University of Oxford, and a Non-Stipendiary Research Fellow at Nuffield College. My research agenda centers on inequalities in the labour market.
Currently, I study labour market inequalities from three distinct perspectives. First, I am interested in the roles of gender and family dynamics in the labour market. Leveraging a unique combination of Danish job vacancy data and matched employer-employee register data, I explore how job characteristics and their returns (in terms of wages) depend on the gender of the worker. Second, I explore the economic effects of parental death on children. In different projects, we investigate how the impact of parental death evolves over the life cycle and the mechanisms at play during different life stages. Third, I study the outcomes of children of immigrants relative to the children of locals. Utilising detailed Danish administrative data, our projects assess differences in outcomes and in levels of intergenerational mobility.
With these research projects, I aim to contribute to a nuanced understanding of labour market dynamics, earnings disparities, familial influences, and the socio-economic trajectories of diverse populations.
