Short presentation
I am currently working on three research projects: 1) Environmental adaptation and productivity growth in the Swedish pulp and paper industry, 1950-1989 2) Financial development and economic growth: the case of the early Swedish stock market, 1863-1938 3) The impact of monetary regimes on trade and capital flows during the first wave of globalization, 1850-1913.
I also teach quantitative methods, sustainable development and general economic history courses on the A- and B-level.
