 In my research I use Danish data to analyze the labor market, fertility, and education.  

I work on workers’ occupational mobility and skill accumulation, and how credit constraints affect firms hiring and firing over the business cycle. I also work on women’s fertility and how this is affected by their education. Finally, I am interested in education choices and how the institutional setting at vocational schools and universities affects students’ graduation rates and earnings.  

I am currently in the process of evaluating the effect on graduation of a large -scale intervention across five Danish Vocational Schools. This initiative includes a range of activities and aims at improving graduation rates during the second basic course (Grundforløb 2, GF2) of the Danish vocational education and training (VET). The intervention is created such that it can easily be scaled to all Danish vocational schools – potentially having large effect on Danish Society.
