His research examines the determinants and outcomes of active labor market policies (ALMP), including public employment services (PES), training programs, and job creation initiatives. Key projects involve analyzing the SPIN database (1930-2025, 40 countries) and studying the impact of earned income tax credits (EITC) on employment and poverty reduction.
The SPIN database serves as a foundational resource for longitudinal and cross-national studies on welfare state institutions and social citizenship rights. His publications highlight policy interdependencies (e.g., PES moderating ALMP effects) and nuanced outcomes for unemployed vs. inactive populations.
Teaching activities include Comparative Sociology at bachelor's level and thesis supervision in Sociology and Labor Relations. No scientific awards are documented in the public profile, but his work remains central to understanding modern welfare state dynamics through empirical policy analysis.
