Now

Right now I am working on revising JAQ of All Trades: Job Mismatch, Firm Productivity and Managerial Quality for Journal of Financial Economics and undertaking a comprehensive revision of the working paper Technology Transfer in Mergers and Acquisitions and the Careers of Workers. I am also developing a PhD course in Labor and Finance that I will teach in November at Hanken, and I am on the Steering Group for the Nordic Microdata Database and the IFN FAME Database. You can find PDFs of all my recent articles here, working papers here, lectures here, and presentations here.
