On June 15, Elin Colmsjö participated in the Economic Opportunity European Conference, where she presented her research “A Flying Start: Intergenerational Transfers, Wealth Accumulation and Entrepreneurship of Descendants.” In the paper, Elin analyzes how parents’ financial support in the housing market contributes to their children’s long‑term wealth accumulation. The conference was hosted by Sciences Po in Paris and was the first of its kind in Europe.

At the CESifo Junior Workshop on Labor Economics in Munich on May 28, 2016, Elin Colmsjö was awarded the Best Paper Prize. The paper, "Workplace Violence", co-authored with Daphne Skandalis, University of Copenhagen, examines the health and economic consequences of experiencing violence in the workplace. The paper will be released as a working paper later this year.
