Lina Andersson's research deals with various aspects of self-employment, with special focus on self-employment among immigrants. Andersson studies, for example, how immigrants finance their business ventures, and how access to financing and various types of financing affect the survival and development of the business.
Part of her research is dedicated to sexual identity and labour market outcome. Among other things, this research focuses on income differences between homosexuals and heterosexuals, and on various explanations as to why homosexual men earn less than heterosexual men whereas this is the reverse for women.
