Personal profile

Primary fields of research

  • Applied Microeconomics (e.g. production economics and household models)
  • Applied Econometrics (e.g. stochastic frontier analysis, system estimation, limited dependent variables, maximum likelihood estimation, panel data, non-parametric regression)
  • Agricultural Economics (e.g. subsidies, labour allocation)
  • Econometric Software (e.g. R packages for system estimation, sample selection models, maximum likelihood estimation, microeconomic models)

Teaching

Possible conflicts of interest

  • "Danish Energy" ("Dansk Energi") sometimes asks me for consultancy work regarding SFA and DEA benchmarking models for regulating electricity distribution service operators in Denmark and I get a honorarium for this work (not part of my employment at UCPH).
