My paper with Martin Olsson is now available as open-access early view at the Journal of Finance. We find that privatization lifted productivity while trimming headcount. The productivity gains exceeded worker losses by two-to-six times.

Thrilled to be visiting the Swedish House of Finance on Thursdays this Spring. You'll find me in one of the visitor's offices, blessed with a fantastic view of the inner courtyard. Feel free to drop by for a chat about labor and finance or anything else!
