Kohler is a leading authority on low fertility and European economic and social change. Behrman and Kohler are involved in a comparative study of the effects of education on health, using twins data, for which Denmark is one of 3 countries; and they also collaborated on an NICHD R01 on the biodemography of fertility, marriage, and life satisfaction (papers in Population and Development Review) using the Danish Twins Registry. Ewbank has explicated the APOE-genetic basis of mortality differences across Europe, and Elo is working on Finnish and other European mortality.
