You can find my writings through the Scholar Google research counter: http://scholar.google.dk/citations?user=5GPHH9EAAAAJ&hl=en.

My research interests are in development economics. I have written about the macroeconomic effects of development aid, among other things. In recent years, I have worked with firms and household surveys from several countries in the Global South. After many years as head of studies, I have developed an increasing interest in education research.

I am course responsible for the subject "Applied Research Methods" in the Global Development program.

I supervise development economics and applied econometrics.
