Advisor in the Department of Economics and Monetary Policy at Danmarks Nationalbank.
My research interests are household finance and applied micro and I am affiliated with
the Pension Research Centre, PeRCent, at Copenhagen Business School.*
We have estimated a new measure of pension wealth gains, covering the working-age population in Denmark during 2015-2022, in collaboration with Statistics Denmark. By linking this new data to the existing income and tax registers at the individual level, we provide a full picture of net financial wealth gains across the age distribution. This lays out the basis for further analysis, e.g., of the impact of monetary policy on net capital gains in Danish households. The data can be accessed through Statistics Denmark’s research data portal.
