Bastian Schulz is an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics and Business Economics, Aarhus University. He is affiliated with the IZA Institute of Labor Economics, the CESifo research network, and PIREAU. He received his Ph.D. from LMU Munich in 2018 and was a visiting graduate student at the University of Chicago in 2016.

His research focuses on labor economics, family economics, and macroeconomics, particularly how heterogeneous agents (workers/firms, men/women) match in frictional markets. Key themes include assortative matching, labor market dynamics, gender inequality, household composition, and their economic implications.

Recent publications (2024-2025) explore firm productivity and wages, marital sorting, household career investments, and labor market dynamics. These works integrate life cycle models, structural economic analysis, and policy evaluation frameworks.

Teaching: Co-teaches Labor Economics, International Economics, and advanced courses on labor market models at MA/PhD levels.

Service Roles: Co-organizer of the Macro Seminar Series and member of ECONAU’s steering committee for register-based research.
