Jeanet SINDIG BENTZEN is Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Copenhagen. She is also a Research Affiliate at the Centre for Economic Policy and Research (CEPR), an External Research Associate at CAGE (Warwick University) and the Executive Director of the Association of Economics, Religion, and Culture (ASREC). Among her editorial activities, she is an Associate Editor of The Economic Journal.

Her research focuses on economic approaches to decision-making and culture, and includes topics related to religion, institutions, economic growth, economic history, and geographic confounders. Most of her recent work is within the Economics of Religion field. Methodologically, she uses econometric techniques to test theories from psychology, sociology, theology, and anthropology empirically. Her methodology involves broad datasets spanning the globe, allowing testing of the generalizability of the various theories.
