Personal profile
Research
I study how heterogenous agents, such as workers and firms or men and women, match with each other in frictional markets. I am interested in the nature of these matching processes (assortative matching), and study how the allocation of workers to firms and the composition of households affect labor market dynamics, economic performance, and inequality between genders and households.
Profile
I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics and Business Economics, Aarhus University. I am also affiliated with the IZA Institute of Labor Economics, the CESifo research network, and PIREAU.
I obtained my doctoral degree from LMU Munich in 2018 and was a visiting graduate student at the University of Chicago in 2016.
