Presentation

My research concerns competition between organizations and its relationship with different outcomes of organizational quality, such as, work environment, inequality, but also dissatisfaction and performance. Empirically, I study the Swedish education system since the introduction of the voucher reform in 1992 and I follow all independent and public schools at the compulsory– and high school level since the reform until today. My research is interdisciplinary and combines theoretical perspectives from sociology, management, and economics.
