Personal profile
Research
Most of my research lies at the intersection of health and education economics, but my research also includes work on cultural and institutional economics .
Among the questions that I aimed at answering with my research are:
What are the short- and long-run effects of early investments in health, such as the introduction of free antenatal care?
What were the economic consequences of the Spanish flu?
What are the long-run effects of more instructional time/less absence in primary school?
To what extent does globalization affect institutional conditions for development and cultural attitudes?
Teaching
I am responsible for the distance learning courses at the department of economics, LUSEM. I have previously taught development economics and health economics. I have supervized more than 70 master and bachelor theses.
Please contact me if you are interested in writing your thesis about a topic related to my research.
Outreach
I am regularily being interviewed in mass media about my research. I often participate in panels and have presentations in events organized by government bodies and other organizations.
