SIDEUGHTS: Lei Delsen told CA: "My international comparative research is interdisciplinary and mainly policy-oriented. In my research I try to combine institutional economics, law, and sociology. My current research deals with a number of topical European labor market problems and issues, including new forms of work, retirement from work, employment policy, and the relationships between the changing sets of national and international economic institutions and economic performance."
