Research groups

Labour Economics (AME)

Labour economics is a very broad research field. In addition to research on labour market outcomes, such as wages and employment, the AME unit studies both elementary and higher education, health, taxes and income transfers, politics, crime and punishment, and gender equality.

GAINS

SOFI’s gender research group GAINS (Gender Analysis and Interdisciplinary research Network, Stockholm) is a cross-disciplinary research environment that aims to facilitate social science research on issues related to gender. Our focus areas include the labor market, health, education, and family relations.

About me

I joined SOFI as a PhD student in Economics 2019 and started my PhD at the Department of Economics in 2015. I have also been a Research Assistant at SOFI since 2017. I hold a MSc in Economics from Stockholm University.

I am interested in Behavioural Economics, with special focus on behavioral biases related to gender, negotiations and competitions. I am broadly interested in labour market outcomes including both promotions as well as innovation and entrepreneurship. In my research I use both Experiments and Survey Data.

I have previously worked at SITE at SSE, being the Research Country manager in a large multi-disciplinary, multi-country project investigating Social Entrepreneurship and it's role for more inclusive and innovative societies.

In current research I look at gender differences between men and women in willingness to apply for jobs under different application processes. Additionally I work together with Jenny Säve-Söderbergh on gender differences in salary negotiations.
