Centrale forskningsområder den danske velfærdsstat i komparativ belysning. Udgangspunktet er især præget af den engelske social policy tradition, der kombinerer forskellige teoretiske udgangspunkter i analyser af velfærdsstater. Kærneområder er arbejdsmarked, socialpolitik samt skatte- og afgiftspolitik. Analyser der inddrager EU aspekter indenfor områder, herunder eksempelvis den åbne koordinationsmetoder, er naturlige i komparative analyser af velfærdsstater. I de senester år også inddraget lykkeforskning som element til at forklare samfundsudviklingen.
