Erik Lindberg is a Professor at Uppsala University in the Department of History, where he has made significant contributions to the understanding of historical perspectives on public goods and infrastructure. His research interests encompass the areas of gender, labor laws, and the economic development throughout early modern Europe. Lindberg has critically examined labor relations and the influence of the Master and Servants Act in Sweden, analyzing the contractual relations within capitalist societies. His recent projects challenge assumptions about the historical equality of Sweden's socio-economic model through a thorough examination of labor market relations, especially the practices surrounding compulsory service from 1833 to 1926. By utilizing a principal-agent model, he investigates how economic compensation is intertwined with coercive labor market elements, particularly focusing on agricultural workers and domestic servants. Lindberg's work has had a substantial impact on social and economic history, as evidenced by his involvement in case studies and collaborations with various researchers.
