Personal profile
Research
I am Professor of Economic History and employed as a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Economic History and the Centre for Economic Demography. My research interests have primarily been towards contemporary issues such as immigrant social and economic integration and the link between health early in life and later life socioeconomic and health outcomes. The last few years, I have worked increasingly on a historical Swedish context, for example examining intergenerational transmission of status over a very extended time period.
