Sven Drefahl Professor of Demography

I am a Professor of Demography at Stockholm Univerisity. My research spans a range of interdisciplinary topics at the intersection of Demography, Sociology, Epidemiology, Public Health, and Statistics. Currently, I am studying the relationship between migration and mortality, determinants of COVID-19 mortality, and the ageing of the Swedish population. The majority of my work is based on individual-level register data of the total Swedish population. Beyond that I am also interested in international trends of health and mortality and demographic methods.

I am currently teaching demographic methods at the advanced level and statistical methods at the basic and advanced level. Given that I am a Demographer using mainly longitudinal register data I have expert knowledge on most flavours of hazard regression (aka survival analysis, aka event-history analysis). I have also a longstanding interest in demographic microsimulations.
