About Mathias Fjællegaard Jensen

I am an applied microeconomist working at the intersection of labour, public, and health economics. I am currently a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Economics, University of Oxford. Starting September 2026, I will be Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Oxford, jointly appointed with Balliol College.

My research agenda has two strands. First, I study the parent–child relationship across three phases: the effects of childbirth, intergenerational dynamics across the life course, and the consequences when the relationship ends at parental death. Second, I examine how policy, labour market dynamics, and education contribute to heterogeneous outcomes in modern labour markets and in well-being more broadly.
