My main research interests are comparative labour market analysis and employment policy. In recent years I have been engaged in developing the theme "flexicurity" as my main topic of research. Together with professor Henning Jørgensen I have recently edited Flexicurity and Beyond, a volume with the contributions from an international conference with leading European scholars, held at Aalborg University in October 2006.
Since 1997, I have been the Danish correspondent to the SYSDEM-network within the European Employment Observatory, which is set up within the framework of the collaboration between the European Commission and the national authorities responsible for employment and labour market policies. The aim of the European Employment Observatory (EEO) is to promote the multilateral exchange of information on labour markets and labour market policies between EU Member States and to produce and disseminate quality analyses and research on relevant issues for employment and labour market policy. Until 2000, the network published the journal TRENDS, which contained comparative information and analysis about EU labour markets and labour market policies. This publication has now been replaced by the European Employment Observatory Review. The first issue of the review was published in the fall of 2001. This and subsequent issues can be downloaded from the EEO-homepage.
In September 2006, I was elected chairman of the Economic Council of the Labour Movement, which is an independent body that conducts analysis in the fiscal, industrial economic, labour market and macro economic fields.
In May 2007 I was appointed "Research Fellow" of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in Bonn, Germany. As a private, independent research institute, IZA focuses on the economic analysis of national and international labor markets.
In august 2003, the Nordic Council of Ministers published a report by Christofer Lindgren and myself on the integration of immigrants on the Nordic labour markets: Arbete til alla. En nordisk profil för en öppen europeisk arbetsmarknad, Nordisk Ministerråd NORD 2003:13, København. The report has a summary in English.
In December 2003, together with Ernst Jensen, I published a Danish text-book on the welfare state, labour markets and the European Union targeted at the high school level. The book Samfundets Økonomi has its own homepage hosted by the publisher Forlaget Columbus.
