Christian Vedel

I am an Assistant Professor at the Historical Economics and Development Group (HEDG) at the Department of Economics at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). 

I am interested in expanding our knowledge of how geography and institutions shape living conditions. I do most of my work using techniques from causal inference and machine learning on large amounts of historical georeferenced data.

In 2023, I received the 'New Researcher Prize' from the Economic History Society for my paper, which is available in a short version under 'Research'.

I wrote my dissertation under the supervision of Paul Sharp and co-supervisors Casper Worm Hansen and Christian Møller Dahl
