University of Zurich Department of Business AdministrationPlattenstrasse 14CH-8032 ZürichOffice: PLM-G-205My CV is here.
I am an Associate Professor of Business Economics at the Department of Business Administration, University of Zurich. Previously, I was the Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics, University of Zurich. I am also a research affiliate at several institutions, including RFBerlin, the Jacobs Center, IZA@LISER, the Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI), and the LRF Center for Economics of Breastfeeding. I earned my PhD in Economics from the University of Copenhagen in 2018.
My research lies at the intersection of labor and education economics. I study topics such as occupational choice, skill allocation, and gender inequality. My current research explores questions including:
How can we improve the allocation of skills in the labor market?
What explains occupational sorting by gender?
What strategies can broaden students’ occupational search?
How do firms adjust to worker absence?
