Katja Mann


Welcome to my page.

I am an Assistant Professor at Copenhagen Business School and a member of the Pension Research Centre (PeRCent) at CBS.

My research focuses on some of the biggest macroeconomic challenges of the 21st century: Automation technology and the future of work, demographic aging with its implications for pension systems and global capital flows, and inequality. Most of my recent work combines macro models with micro data.

I recently talked about some of these topics in a Podcast on insightview.eu.
