About me

I am an Associate Professor of Economic History at the University of Gothenburg. My research lies at the intersection of economic history and development economics, with a particular interest in how historical institutions and economic structures shape inequality and socio-economic opportunities over the long run in the Global South.

I also have a strong interest in methods for quantitative historical research, particularly the construction and linkage of historical microdata and the ways in which source quality, digitisation, transcription, and representativeness affect the robustness and generalisability of historical inference.
