I am an economist and researcher at the Institute for Housing and Urban Research (IBF) at Uppsala University. Here I give an overview of my research, teaching, and ongoing projects, as well as occasional reflections on economics.
Much of my work focuses on environmental effects on health and well-being. Currently, I work in the Healthy Cities program and Urban Lab. I am affiliated with Uppsala Center for Fiscal Studies (UCFS) and the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health at Uppsala University.
I am interested in the philosophy of science and economics, and write short essays to make economic theory more accessible for students and the interested general public.
