Three PhD. positions at economic history in Uppsala are now open, one of which is associated with Uppsala history of inequality and labor lab (UHILL): www.uu.se/en/research/...

Got some new funding to work on the labor market effects of demolishing and rebuilding of parts of Stockholms inner city in the mid 1900s. Together with @johangericsson.bsky.social, @jakobmolinder.bsky.social and Jonatan Andersson.

I published my first paper, read it, cite it, love it! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Glad att vara en del av UHILL, ett nytt initiativ för forskning om historiska arbetsmarknader och ojämlikhet. www.uu.se/en/research/...

What better first post than to introduce a new working paper I'm working on! In this paper I address the question of the reliability of men's real wages as indicators of living standards. The short answer is that they seem to work reasonably well, at least for cross-country comparisons.
