Emma Lappi

I am employed as an Assistant Professor in Economics at the Department of Business Development and Technology at Aarhus University. I am also an affiliated researcher at the Department of Industrial Economics and Management at the Blekinge Institute of Technology. 

I am an applied microeconomist interested in issues related to self-employment/entrepreneurship, human capital, and productivity. My current work focuses on entrepreneurship and the role of experience, ability, childcare, and perceived safety in individual entry decisions, entrepreneurial productivity, innovation, and resilience. 

Between all my research, teaching, and policy-related activities, I also run as fast and long as possible. I am always looking for fun marathons or half-marathons to race.
