A significant portion of his recent work focuses on the intersection of cognitive ability, education, and labor market outcomes, with particular attention to demographic trends and long-term societal implications. His research often utilizes large-scale Norwegian population data, particularly from the HUNT study, to examine relationships between early life factors and later-life outcomes. Dr. Bratsberg's work on cognitive ability and earnings has revealed important insights about how cognitive skills relate to economic outcomes, particularly at the top of the earnings distribution. His research on immigration has examined how immigrant groups integrate into the labor market and how this is affected by social insurance systems and economic conditions. More recently, his work has expanded into understanding how occupational factors influence cognitive health in later life. Among his notable contributions are studies on the social gradients in employment during the COVID-19 pandemic, the relationship between cognitive function at age 18 and dementia risk, and the impact of automation risk on electoral behavior with gendered consequences. Dr. Bratsberg has been actively involved in numerous research projects at the Frisch Centre, particularly those related to labor market, welfare, and education themes.
