Biography

Prior to joining the University of Glasgow, he was a Research Associate with the Fraser of Allander Institute in the Department of Economics at the University of Strathclyde. Prior to joining academia Kristinn was a policy analyst with the Icelandic National Audit Office.

Research interests

I'm interested in understanding the role of education and skills for individual life outcomes and economic and social development.

My ongoing research examines inequality in access to education and inequality in labour market outcomes, in particular social-origin pay gaps. I'm also working on analysing spatial inequality in the development of tertiary education and the role of diverse skills in refugee migration and integration.

Previously I have published on estimating macroeconomic impacts of education, as encompassing market and non-market, public and private effects, using Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models to simulate the links between education and the wider economy, in both low and high income countries. Furthermore, I've worked extensively on using input-output approaches to analyse the demand impacts of education institutions and associated student populations. Applications include urban and rural settings as well interregional analysis.

I would be happy to consider research collaborations within any of the fields mentioned above. Please send me an e-mail if you wish to discuss. For a more detailed overview of my publications, including working papers, please see my REPEC profile: http://ideas.repec.org/f/phe250.html

Supervision

I welcome inquiries and applications from potential research students who share any of my research interests. This would include, for example, topics relating to economic aspects of the education system and institutions, as well as quantitative analysis of the economic and social impacts of education.
