I am the Eva and Mats Qviberg Professor in Economics at the Stockholm School of Economics. As of February 2020 I am also the head of the department. My research interests are in the field of macroeconomics, with special focus on fiscal and monetary policy, inequality and labor supply.  I teach macroeconomics at the undergraduate level and in executive education programs.
