I am Professor of Economics, Deputy Head of Department for Research, and Deputy Director of the Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI) at the University of Copenhagen.

My research focuses on how individuals make economic decisions under uncertainty, with particular emphasis on the role of expectations, preferences, and financial constraints. Current projects examine subjective earnings risk, labor market expectations, household financial behavior, and how individuals prepare for and respond to economic shocks.
