I am associate professor (docent) at the Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy (IFAU) in Uppsala and am affiliated with the Uppsala Center for Labor Studies (UCLS) at Uppsala University, ROA at Maastricht University, IZA\(@\)LISER, and ROCKWOOL Foundation Berlin.

My research interests are centred around learning and incentives in the workplace, origins and consequences of course choice in education, and gender differences in the labour market.

I edit the NEP report on the economics of gender (subscribe here), organise the Stockholm Uppsala Economics of Education Workshop Series and other workshops, and occasionally write up useful commands on my StataTeX Blog for which I’m also teaching Stata courses.

Please find my CV (pdf) here.
