Professor of labour economics
Research director in the profile area Population and Economics. Professor of labour economics at Växjö University (from 2010 Linnaeus University). Defended my doctoral thesis Essays on expectations in economic theory in Uppsala in 1991. My publications concern productivity and economic growth, housing, population economics and long run forecasting.

My current research is focused on intergenerational resource flows. In this field I lead efforts to create and map the flows within the National Accounts framework and thereby widen the knowledge base required to assess the future sustainability of current welfare systems. This is part of a wider international cooperation (National Transfer Accounts) in which around 30 countries on all continents are cooperating to ensure comparability of the data. The simulation model IFSIM provides a virtual reality analyse social interaction across generations. This model while simplified still catches more complex relations than can be analysed in conventional mathematical and statistical models.

I have worked as researcher at the Institute for Housing Research and as a professor at Uppsala University.
