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.
