I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI). I recently obtained my PhD in Economics from Uppsala University, where my dissertation work focused on incentives and resources in the education system. Since then, I have continued to study the factors that influence people’s outcomes at school and on the labor market, with a current focus on how social identity and gender norms shape educational and career trajectories. In general, I am broadly interested in labor economics, social economics, gender economics, and LGBTQ+ economics.
The project's primary purpose is to increase the understanding of labor market and educational effects of gender transitioning on Swedish adults and youth whilst considering two theoretically specified contexts giving rise to oppression: one focused on gender and the other on being transgender.
The aim of this project is to provide evidence on the outcomes of individuals who choose their high school program gender-atypically and start a program where they belong to the minority gender.
