Max-Emil Mohn King

I am a researcher at the Ragnar Frisch Centre for Economic Research.

In January 2025, I defended my PhD thesis at BI Norwegian Business School. My thesis leverages high-quality administrative data to investigate how parenthood affects the political careers of women compared to men, whether meetings scheduled during family-friendly hours could boost women's representation in politics, and the effects of voter mobilization on election turnout decisions.

Before my academic career, I spent ten years leading hundreds of talented young adults through their first job experiences in Norway's largest amusement park. I also went to flight school, and made some extra spending money as a simulator pilot for air traffic controllers in training on the side.
