Jeanet Bentzen

University of Copenhagen

My research includes topics related to religion, institutions, economic growth, economic history, and geographic confounders. Most of my recent work is within the Economics of Religion field. Methodologically, I use econometric techniques to test theories from psychology, sociology, theology, and anthropology empirically. My methodology involves broad datasets spanning the globe, allowing testing of the generalizability of the various theories.

I am a PhD-candidate in Development Economics at the Development Economics Research Group (DERG) at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. My focus lies on small firms, mixed-methods and Mozambique. My working papers examine the effects of formalization for firms, the impact of unconditional cash grants on firm recovery after a cyclone and the effects of changes in government quality on firms' law compliance. Most of the data I use was collected in projects that were managed by myself.
