Kristina Thompson

I have degrees in economics, health sciences and history, although my research is most at home in health demography. In my research, I explore long-run changes in health and mortality, and use statistical and computational methods to do so. My Ph.D. project (alongside Bjorn Quanjer) focused on explaining how the Dutch have grown to be the tallest nation in the world, and what consequences this might have for social, economic and health outcomes.
