Marc Sabatier Hvidkjaer

I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Government at Harvard University. My research interests lie in Comparative Politics and Political Economy. I study political representation and behavior, with particular attention to how economic conditions and ideas shape politics. At Harvard, I am affiliated with the Institute for Quantitative Social Science, the Center for American Political Studies and the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies.

Before coming to Harvard, I received my BSc and MSc in Political Science (Statskundskab) at the University of Copenhagen. While studying, I taught Quantitative Methods and Comparative Politics, worked as a research assistant at Aarhus University, and worked in consulting. I regularly contribute to the leading national newspapers in Denmark, where a list of my writings can be seen on my media page.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and cooking. I hold three passports, and I used one of them to become the second best handball goalkeeper on the second worst team in the world. If you want to play tennis, discuss research or anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out!
