Prior to that, in 2005, he became the first European economist to win the IZA Prize in Labor Economics, sharing it again with his collaborator Dale Mortensen. He has written extensively in professional journals, magazines, and the press; his book Equilibrium Unemployment Theory is an influential reference in the economics of unemployment that has been translated into many languages.
