Research Profile
Research Areas
- Labour Economics
- Social Policy
- Economic Analysis of Law
The economics research group investigates questions in labour economics, social policy, and the economic analysis of existing law. Empirical research and economic theory are combined to generate knowledge that can inform policy, society, and academic research.
With a strong international network, the group maintains close links with research institutions and practitioners across Europe in order to continuously produce relevant research and contribute actively to the wider research community. This is also reflected in the group’s regular participation in international conferences.
