Current research

My current research focuses on the link between prices, currency choices and exchange rates using detailed transaction-level data from Danish tax authorities.

I am member of the following research groups:

• Economic Policy Research Unit, University of Copenhagen
• Center for Applied Microeconometrics, University of Copenhagen

Primary fields of research

International trade, industrial organization and econometrics.
