Agneta Berge

Welcome!

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Uppsala University, Department of Economics, and an affiliated researcher at UCLS. Before joining Uppsala, I completed my PhD in economics at the IIES at Stockholm University.  

My interests are in macroeconomics with a particular focus on labor markets and wage setting.

In current work, I study  various wage-setting arrangements, such as two-tier wage bargaining, in which industry-level agreements are supplemented with firm-level negotiations. In other ongoing work, I study wage setting at staffing agencies, firms' price setting behavior, and the impact of rented capital and labor on factor income shares. 

I have previously worked as an economist for the Swedish Trade Union Confederation and for the Union of Commercial Employees.
