Mette Foged

Mette Foged serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Social Sciences. Her academic base is located at Øster Farimagsgade 5, Building 26, Copenhagen K, Denmark, where she conducts research on critical labor market dynamics and migration phenomena.

Her research portfolio spans four core domains:

• Labour economics, with emphasis on refugee and immigrant integration into host economies
• Household economics examining family migration decisions and resource allocation
• Economics of migration and integration policy evaluation
• Applied microeconometrics utilizing longitudinal datasets for causal inference

Analysis of her 2011-2023 publications reveals concentrated focus on refugee integration mechanisms, particularly comparative assessments of language training versus work-first policies. Her work systematically investigates how labor market institutions mediate immigration impacts on native workers' wages and employment, while also exploring diversity's economic effects and return migration outcomes. Methodologically, she specializes in advanced microeconometric techniques applied to longitudinal administrative data.
