Research areas

Research interests

Everything that moves in an economic way may catch my interest. In 2005 I was appointed project leader under the Danish Center for Bolig og Velfærd (Housing and Welfare), funded by Realdania, and since then my research has focused on housing economics. Recently, I have taken part in the DEMHOW research project funded by the European Union under the Socio-Economic and Humanities theme of its Framework 7 programme.
