Henrik Malm Lindberg

Lindberg's research in keywords: migration, Policy implementation, re-migration

A recurring theme in Henrik Malm Lindberg’s research is how economic and political change interact, and how major socioeconomic and political processes can be understood through an institutionally grounded, economic-historical approach. Henrik has applied this research perspective in studies of agricultural policy, crisis management at the municipal level, how labor market regulations affect the development capacity of businesses, and how economic-political learning takes place.

Henrik Malm Lindberg is currently an affiliated researcher with a special collaboration with Ratio, focusing on labor market conflict regulations. In his daily work, he is employed at the Delegation for Migration Studies (Delmi).
