Research
My primary research focuses on the structure of school markets, as well as the segregation of schools and housing, particularly in relation to families' educational strategies. I mainly use statistical methods and individual-level register data. Currently, I am leading a research project funded by The Swedish Research Council (VR) related to the preceding themes - Transition between preschool and comprehensive school – Analyses of how preschool participation and socioeconomic context affect children's early educational trajectories.
