David Jinkins
Associate Professor of Economics at Copenhagen Business School.
I study how buyers and sellers find each other across borders, why people settle where they do, and how workers move between jobs and cities. Before economics I studied political science at Carleton College, worked as a freight forwarder, and spent time in Turkey on a Fulbright and in Taiwan as a master’s student. I received my PhD from Penn State in 2014 and have been in Copenhagen ever since.
