I am a PhD Student in Economics at CEBI, Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen. My primary research interests are Gender Economics, Public Economics, and Political Economy.
In my work, I am particularly interested in understanding key determinants of gender inequality, and in understanding how insurance schemes play a role in determining inequality over the life cycle.
My supervisors are Claus Thustrup Kreiner and Jakob Egholt Søgaard. I visited Professor Teodora Boneva at the University of Bonn in the spring semester of 2026.
Current Research
In households where both partners work full time, women increase their weekly housework by 3 hours after having their first child. This highlights another key source of gender inequality, and may play a role in explaining the child penalty.
Workers with low work capacity can be successfully screened into a partial disability insurance system, where they are required to work in order to receive benefits. This could potentially alleviate public spending, ensure a connection to the labor market for partial DI recipients, and allow for better targeting of benefits to ordinary DI recipients.
