Frederik Plesner Lyngse

I am an Assistant Professor of Health Economics at The Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen. I am affiliated with the Data Science Lab at Statistics Denmark and the Danish Ministry of Health.

I am an applied economist working on topics in health economics in a broad sense. Topically, my research evolves around empirical health economics. Specifically, I combine new data with existing administrative data, along with quasi-experiential designs, to answer important questions that relate to household and provider behaviors in health and labor markets. Among others, these questions include: How does early career sorting causally affect labor and marriage market outcomes? Why do patients not adhere to their prescribed medical treatment? How do physicians collude and what are the implications for patients? How important are households, schools, and workplaces for coronavirus transmission? 

I have good experience with interdisciplinary collaboration and in working close with policymakers. I am currently affiliated with the Danish Ministry of Health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I have worked with Infectious Disease Preparedness at Statens Serum Institut and am part of The Danish Expert Group for Mathematical Modeling of COVID-19.
