About me
I am a third-year PhD student at the department of economics and business economics at Aarhus University.
My research interest lies in labor market models, with a focus on occupation, human capital and automation. I am also very interested in numerical solution methods.
I am visiting UW-Madison in the spring of 2024.
Frictions Attenuate The Effects of Automation
For Good and Evil
Working paper: In this paper, I show that frictions (Search in the labor market and capital adjustment costs) matter for the outcome of workers and firms' decision to automate tasks in production. I do this by constructing a DSGE model w. two different production technologies which allows me to model the effects of different capital-labor complementarities and the spillover effects of automation shocks in one industry into another.
