Katja Mann

Welcome to my page.

I am an Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School and a member of the Pension Research Centre (PeRCent) at CBS. I am also an Associate Editor at the European Economic Review and a CEPR Research Affiliate.

My research primarily relates to technological change and its effects on employment, wages and different dimensions of inequality. I also have a secondary research agenda on the economics of pensions, where I study savings behavior and wealth inequality. Most of my work combines macro models with micro data.

I talked about some of my research in a Podcast on insightview.eu.

You can find my CV here.
