Keynote

Søgaard is an associate professor at the Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI) at the Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen.

Søgaard's research relies at the intersection of economic modelling and empirical methods, with a focus on policy evaluation in public and labor economics: tax and benefit systems, labor supply, optimization frictions, income and gender inequality. He is perhaps best known for his work with Henrik Kleven and Camille Landais on child penalties, showing how parenthood drives the gender gap in earnings. His recent research studies Denmark's expansion of earmarked paternity leave.
