Short presentation
PhD, associate professor in economic history.
My main research areas are post-war Swedish and European industrial relations, regulations, second-hand retail, consumption and credits from the 18th century onwards. I have written on, among other things, European integration and industrial relations, the European social sector dialogue, industrial relations in SMEs and in the service sector. In addition, I have studied the regulation of labour force immigration, flexicurity, and the effects on industrial relations of privatizations of Swedish elder care and telecommunications.
I am, together with two colleagues finishing a project, which I have lead, financed by the Swedish Research Council, on auctions in Sweden in the 18th and 19th century.
