Primary research areas

Globalization and the labor market

My research focuses on the effects of globalization on the domestic economy. I have recently examined how trade and immigration affect domestic firms' outcomes such as innovation, offshoring and productivity and domestic labor market conditions such as workers' skills.

I uncover how firms grow through people and policy

Understanding how people shape firm performance 

My research helps society understand how labor markets, firm decisions, and public policies interact to shape wages, innovation, productivity and international trade. I study how hiring, diversity, and global competition affect firms’ ability to grow and adapt, both in Denmark and internationally. 

My work shows that: 

Firms benefit from hiring workers exposed to diverse teams. 

Labor mobility is a key driver of knowledge transfer and innovation. 

Wage inequality across firms is shaped by organizational constraints and cooperation needs. 

Import competition reshapes workforce composition and innovation incentives. 

I aim to inform better policies for inclusive labor markets and help organizations design workplaces that foster both equity and performance. 

Recent research projects

Studies how offshoring affects firm demand for worker skills and wage inequality using Danish data and a matching model; finds offshoring reduces between-firm inequality in high-offshorable jobs.
