About me
I am an industry PhD student in Sociology at Stockholm University Demography Unit, Department of Sociology. I received my Master's Degree in Political Science at the University of Helsinki. My research focuses on cash transfers and their effects on income, work incentives, health, and well-being. In my dissertation, I study the effects of an unconditional cash transfer policy on different social and health outcomes by utilising the design and register data from the Finnish Basic Income Experiment.
