His research focuses on long-term economic trends, particularly the interplay of income inequality, private debt, real estate markets, and financialization in Sweden (1900–2013). Studies often employ cointegration techniques and historical data reconstruction.

Recent publications include analyses of private debt dynamics (2015, 2023), financialization patterns (2020, 2022), and the role of welfare policy in shaping income distribution (2017, 2020). His 2023 dataset on Swedish commercial banks' credit (1875–2020) fills a critical gap in macroeconomic research.
