JOHAN SÆVERUD
Researcher and Data Steward, Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen, CEBI
I work in labor and public economics, doing mainly empirical projects with administrative and survey data.
My research agenda is focused on late-in-life labor supply specifically, and expectations and behavior in the labor market more generally.
My key interest is how heterogeneity affects decisions in labor market, with a focus on the interplay between expectations, saving, and labor supply.
