Impact

I have published in leading economics journals such as Review of Economic Studies, Review of Economics and Statistics, Economic Journal, Energy Economics, Journal of Comparative Economics, Journal of Development Economics, Journal of Economic Growth, IMF Economic Review, and World Bank Economic Review.

While my research is well-cited in economics, it is also cited in leading journals outside of the field of economics, including in the cognitive sciences (e.g. American Psychologist and Behavioral and Brain Sciences), the life sciences (e.g. British Medical Journal and Molecular Biology and Evolution), political science (e.g. American Journal of Political Science, American Political Science Review, and Annual Review of Political Science), and interdisciplinary areas (e.g. Nature Communications, Nature Human Behaviour, PNAS, and WIREs Climate Change).

My research is cited in popular books such as Origins by Lewis Dartnell, The Journey of Humanity by Oded Galor, The Weirdest People in the World by Joseph Henrich, The Plague Cycle by Charles Kenny, The Open Sea by Joseph G. Manning, Grand Transitions by Vaclav Smil, and Amber Waves by Catherine Zabinski.

My research is mentioned in outlets such as IMF's World Economic Outlook, World Bank's Doing Business Report, World Economic Forum, Marginal Revolution, BBC's 50 Things that Made the Modern Economy, Wall Street Journal, Handelszeitung, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Super Interessante Magazine, World Commerce Review, and major Danish newspapers.

I have given testimony before the Danish Parliament's European Affairs Committee, and I have done consulting for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the World Bank.
