I am a Senior Lecturer (Lektor) at the Department of Economics and Statistics. My primary research interests are in economic development, political economics and economic history. In my work, I often craft or make use of historical datasets. Examples of ongoing projects include the returns to migration during the Age of Mass Migration, the effects of the rollout of a railroad network on the collaboration among inventors, and how a rising metropolis like Stockholm during the second industrial revolution could affect the increase in female labor force participation. Currently, I teach courses in Econometrics and the Economics of Migration.
