I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Housing and Urban Research, Uppsala University.

The main goal of my research is to understand how economic agents behave in order to cast light on how to design tax, pension and housing policies. In my work I have, among other things studied:

• how housing wealth and housing policies affect consumption

• the effect of mandatory pension savings on total savings and consumption

• labor supply adjustments to tax reforms and how frictions affect estimation of structural parameters

• whether neoclassical or prospect theory better describes tax filing behavior

• what affects take-up of allowance for pensioners
