Linda Sandris Larsen

Linda Sandris Larsen is an Associate Professor of Finance at the Copenhagen Business School's Department of Finance. She previously held academic positions at the University of Southern Denmark (Assistant Professor 2009–2012 and Associate Professor 2012–2016). Her primary affiliations include the Pension Research Center (PerCent) at CBS and board membership at Sydinvest (Danish mutual fund).

• Education: PhD in Finance (2009), MSc in Mathematics-Economics (2003), both from University of Southern Denmark

Her research focuses on dynamic asset allocation, household financial decision-making (particularly mortgage choices), and the impact of model/parameter uncertainty on investment strategies. Current projects explore:

• Life-cycle consumption-saving interactions with interest-only mortgages
• Design efficacy of mandatory pension plans
• Gender disparities in pension product selection

Recent publications emphasize practical policy implications, such as recession hedging strategies and pension system welfare analysis. She actively contributes to public policy through roles like the Ministry of Business and Growth's working group on banking/mortgage competition.

Her work bridges theoretical finance with real-world applications, often combining stochastic models with empirical analysis of household financial behaviors.
